... in his latest op ed "The Iraqis are certainly acting as if they are headless,"wherein he opines on the war on Iraq, toilet rolls and Robert Fisk.
He also works in the mention of an important terrorist connection that was discovered coincidentally during our decapitation strike on Baghdad:

It's interesting how much was clarified in the first hours of the war. On Thursday, the Palestine Liberation Front released a statement announcing the identity of the first verified casualty: PLF "1st Lieutenant" Ahmed Walid Raguib al-Baz was killed in Baghdad, "while confronting the treacherous US air bombardment on Iraq".

The PLF is the terrorist group that, among other triumphs, hijacked the Achille Lauro back in the 1980s and pushed Leon Klinghoffer, a wheelchair-bound American Jew, into the Mediterranean.

What was a PLF terrorist doing attending a war council of Saddam's inner circle in Baghdad? Well, I leave that to all the experts who've assured us that Baghdad has no ties to terror groups.

So even if we didn't get Saddam with this first strike, we got Islamofascist killer al-Baz and that's a good start!
