I don't have to read it---I am listening to it right now, on delay in the Fort Worth area...
Unfortunately, I can't stand to even listen to Oliphant, because when I do, I picture what he looks like talking.
Has there EVER been a gayer looking man when he talks than Oliphant? (Not counting actors and people that are TRYING to act gay on purpose, of course.)
you may change your mind after reading #74 here:

He's always been strange that way.
TO talks out of both sides of his mouth.
Is Oliphant advocating dropping nukes on Baghdad and Fallujah?
"W" has but to say the word and people like Oliphant are going to turn the Middle East into a glass parking lot Fur Shur.
What troubles liberals is at that stage of WWII we had lost hundreds of thousands of American lives, and at the same distance in the WOT we have lost about 2000, that's less than the original attack, which I think can be laid at the door of the 'let's indict the terrorists' liberals
That's why Hugh had him on.
Change my mind?
The problem is too many people are thinking WWII when they should be thinking Cold War.
I agree. TO massages his view points according to the interviewer he is talking to.
I did notice your tagline before posting to you.
He isn't advocating anything. Oliphant has no ideas to advocate -- other than the assertion that somehow, in some undefined way, Bush and the Republicans are doing it "all wrong".
John Kerry, presumably, would've done it "properly". He had "a plan" remember, but neither we nor Oliphant have any idea what it might have been.
Interestingly, though, Hewitt got him to agree that success in Iraq was key to the future on the War on Terror. Which puts Oliphant in complete strategic agreement with Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and all us slow-witted "neo-cons"...
If Oliphant is representative of the creme de la creme of the left's critical thinkers, it is a demonstrably slow track.
Oliphant is a shallow and cowardly SOB IMHO. Outside of that, he ain't worth a damn.
Hewitt has more intellectual credibility than Hannity and O'Reilly.
That last bit.."the day after we satisfy our impulses"
That says so very much about the lefts view of the military and its use. They believe that the use of the military is a brutish, barbaric impules, used to satisfy ugly bloodlust. Never once thinking that it might be justified in the protection of our nation or its intrests.
These are the same people that would try to negotiat with Tamerlane, the Nazis or cannibals. Until they grow up they can never be allowed near power again.
Oliphant took a totally different tone than he did in the Al Franken interview.
He's a commie - his motto is "truth is that which serves the revolution."
The problem is that too many idiots are thinking this is some kind of gentlemanly return to the Cold War, when our enemies are thinking World War III.
That's putting it mildly.
