I think he may be shooting for the whole, "there's too little information and much disinformation for us to judge" angle, with which I agree.

Ok... but.. then what? We should just not worry about it? Go back to watching Oprah and Survivor and forget about that whole 'war' thing we got going on? Because we don't know the actual number of deaths we're off the hook?

No, it means filter your information, remembering where it comes from. There are so many biased sources that it is nearly impossible to form and informed opinion.

A good stance might be that the whole idea is bad/good regardless of the numbers and that it should be wrapped up in the shortest period of time and with the least loss of life.

Sometimes there just isn't enough information to base an opinion on. In that case simply reserve judgement.

If all one is prepared to do about the war is to spread baseless anti-US information from tinfoil-hat and echo-chamber websites, Oprah is a better choice.
