What ought to trouble more Americans, however, is that at the same distance from Pearl Harbor, in the 1940's, we had won the war.

Is Oliphant advocating dropping nukes on Baghdad and Fallujah?

He may be advocating dropping nukes all over the place. Oliphant is a strange dude. He's one of the Western Liberal fanatics "W" is protecting the Moslem world from.

"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.

Is Oliphant advocating dropping nukes on Baghdad and Fallujah?

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.
