What about what he said is hawk? Stationing US troops in Israel is a trifle hawkish, not even Billy Kristol has suggested that. It's also breathtakingly stupid. Talk about a quagmire.... What about what he said is lefty? See his column on Kyoto to establish his lefty bona fides. What about what he said is nonsense? See answer number one.

What about what he said is nonsense? The idea that everything would be stable if we sent soldiers into the West Bank or to the border between Israel and a new Palestinian state. The difference would be that Americans would be subject to more terrorist attacks and Israelis would be subject to less, but I don't see how that is a benefit to the US. Also I think his statement about a reduction of "the casualty ratio between Hezbollah and Israel from 10 to 1 down to 1 to 1.", is incorrect, but I guess not everything that is incorect is nonsense.
