"You just want war, war, war..."

Following up on Fixer's post "Our Goebbels" (scroll down), Juan Williams pushes back at Kristol. At Think Progress:

This morning on Fox News Sunday, William Kristol argued that the Bush administration's "coddling" of Iran had "invited" the latest outbreak of violence, and that the United States should join in the current fighting. Juan Williams pushed back:

You just want war, war, war, and you want us in more war. You wanted us in Iraq. Now you want us in Iran. Now you want us to get into the Middle East. ... You're saying, why doesn't the United States take this hard, unforgiving line? Well, the hard and unforgiving line has been, we don't talk to anybody. We don't talk to Hamas. We don't talk to Hezbollah. We're not going to talk to Iran. Where has it gotten us, Bill?

Kristol threw up his hands and didn't answer. Watch it:

Transcript follows.

I don't know if Americans use this word, or even get the concept, but Kristol and his war-mongering ilk need to be publicly denounced. The more, the better.
