What Charles Krauthammer giddily opined about Iraqi elections in 2005:
The Iraqi elections vindicated the two central propositions of the Bush doctrine. First, that the will to freedom is indeed universal and not the private preserve of Westerners. And second, that American intentions were sincere.
His description of skeptics:
Embarrassingly, scandalously, blessedly wrong.
What Krauthammer says now about his call to reboot the Iraqi government:
New elections are not a panacea.
Vindication ain't what it used to be, apparently.
