Not exactly savaging, but Kristol is certainly calling Bush to task re Uzbekistan.

The Bush administration's response to the bloodshed has been tepid,
featuring calls for restraint by both sides. The president's failure even
to mention Uzbekistan in a major foreign policy speech to the International
Republican Institute last week is not good news. Neither is the absence of
talk about using U.S. aid as leverage on Karimov.


and

President Bush should lead the international pressure on Karimov to allow
journalists, legitimate relief workers, and trustworthy investigators to
travel to Andijon and render a verdict on the events there. That verdict
will likely be harsh for Karimov, and it should have consequences for U.S.
aid to and support for the regime. Washington cannot turn a blind eye to
massacres in a country where U.S. troops are based and that receives U.S.
assistance. Here as elsewhere, the principle of linkage between a regime's
behavior and relations with the United States must be reestablished. And if
not in Uzbekistan, where we have so much leverage, how seriously will
others take our promises and our warnings?
