Poor Will Saletan doesn't know what to think. Here's his take on Rumsfeld's press conference this morning:

Then he starts talking about today's radio lineup. "Military units that want to live … should listen to coalition radio broadcasts to receive instructions as to how you may demonstrate that you do not intend to fight," he tells Iraqi soldiers. To civilians, he adds, "Stay in your homes and listen to coalition radio stations for instructions on what to do to remain safe." Somewhere in the back of the room, a Pentagon press aide must be waving at him to mention the coalition's Web site.

Talking has always been a big part of warfare. Often, it's a substitute. People don't want to die. If you throw a lot of rocks and stamp your feet and make the other side think you're bigger and stronger, maybe they'll surrender without a fight. If not, maybe you'll run away. Bluster rules. Except now it's got a coordinated multimedia strategy.

Just twelve hours earlier, Saletan thought we were hitting Saddam with too much:

If you want a sense of how lopsided this war is, and how hollow American claims of self-defense must look to the rest of the world, compare two scenes we saw on television tonight.

Which is it, Will?
