Yes, he does. For ten column inches (maybe twelve!) the K-Man coolly and calmly rebuts every single criticism Republicans have made over the recent U.S./Iran prisoner swap.
It’s too good to last, of course. Charlie quickly goes off an extended rant about the lifting of long-standing sanctions on Iran consequent to the nuclear deal and how that will be the wind beneath the wings of that country’s “aggressively interventionist and immutably anti-American” foreign policy—language that studiously ignores the fact that it is the U.S., not Iran, that has been “aggressively interventionist”, much at Charlie’s urgings, and much to our sorrow. Why, according to Charlie, it’s another Munich!
Another Munich! Okay! That’s the Charlie Krauthammer I know! That other Charlie Krauthammer, the one who, you know, spoke the truth, I scarcely recognized.
