And what is Kristol's story?
From Crooks and Liars:
Yesterday in the Washington Post, Bill Kristol expressed frustration that the U.S. didn’t do more to help Burma.
What about using our national power to help the Burmese people against their tyrannical rulers? Burma’s regime lost what little legitimacy it had with its bloody crackdown. Parts of the ruling elite must be nervous. Couldn’t we give at least some of Burma’s generals and soldiers reason to doubt the wisdom of slaughtering political opponents? Couldn’t we turn our intelligence-gathering capabilities on Burma to monitor, document and publicize what is happening? Couldn’t we tell the generals who are ordering and the soldiers who are carrying out this crackdown that they are being watched, that their names are being recorded — and that the day will come when there will be plenty of evidence to hold them personally accountable for their deeds?
Answer: Chevron + Burma = Profits.
And here is some interesting facts about William Kristol and his daddy, Irving:
He is the son of Irving Kristol , one of the founders of the neoconservative movement. Kristol was born into an Orthodox Jewish family in Brooklyn, New York.
And more:
It is basically understood that the term “neoconservative” is a reference to political moderates/liberals who merely appear as conservatives to the electorate. As Pat Buchanan remarked in his 2004 book Where the Right went Wrong: How Neoconservatives Subverted the Reagan Revolution and Hijacked the Bush Presidency, neocons are “liberals in sheep’s clothing.” Neocons can trace their intellectual roots back to journalist/activists Irving Kristol and Norman Podhoretz in the early 1950s. As fellow Socialists and Trotskyists, they both rejected the hard Left and articulated a more “centrist” position. Irving Kristol is still a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, which dates back to 1943 with generous funding from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and ExxonMobile (www.aei.org). After serving as chief of staff for William Bennett and Vice President Dan Quayle in the 1980s, William T. Kristol (son of Irving) founded The Weekly Standard when his fellow Bilderberg Group member Newt Gingrich won the GOP victory in 1995. The Weekly Standard is owned by News Corp. (FOX) with Bill Kristol as editor and Fred W. Barnes as executive editor along with Brit Hume and John Podhoretz (son of Norman) as contributors and others. In 1997, Rupert Murdoch helped Kristol launch the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) with a $10 million dollar grant. Kristol (seen below) serves as chairman along with co-founder Robert Kagan who is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR),[19] and former speechwriter for George P. Schultz. Kristol is a regular guest on the Fox News Channel, which was bankrolled by Rupert Murdoch in 1996 after he hired Roger Ailes as his new CEO. Roger Ailes was the former producer of Rush Limbaugh’s TV program in 1991, president of CNBC in 1992, and America’s Talking program at MSNBC in 1994 (now known as Hardball with Chris Matthews – a former aid to Tip O’Neill).
