One of the Senate's deep thinkers on American electoral history, Trent Lott, reflects as well on American military strategy:

“Honestly, it’s a little tougher than I thought it was going to be,” Lott said. In a sign of frustration, he offered an unorthodox military solution: “If we have to, we just mow the whole place down, see what happens. You’re dealing with insane suicide bombers who are killing our people, and we need to be very aggressive in taking them out.”

Great. Less than a year, and we're already talking about destroying Baghdad in order to save it.
