His other gross error was in this statement: "Robert G. Kaiser: This is NOT a "relatively liberal newspaper." This is the Web site of the Washington Post, where all shades of opinion are welcome all the time, as they are on The Post's op-ed page (heavily populated by conservative commentators, among others) and our Sunday Outlook section.
As others have noticed here, this is beyond wrong, all the way to gross public dumb.
I knew Kaiser well when he, Joe Lieberman and I were all on the Editorial Board of the Yale Daily News. Kaiser was always a bit full of himself. And that tends to inhibit a fair-minded approach to the facts of any issue, including Iraq.

Way back in 1980, Robert G. Kaiser wrote a book, better put, a valentine, to the Soviet Union, that made clear his view that the USSR was here to stay, now and forever. We had better accomodate the Soviets, Kaiser made clear, and not provoke them by electing a reactionary like Ronald Reagan.
We elected the hellish Reagan, the Soviet Union is long since toast, and Robert G. Kaiser might as well bed down with Cindy Sheehan. In a ditch, in Texas.
May the rocks fall on them both. Screw them, they're trash and nothing more.
