God all ******* mighty!

No one in our military ever thought of this stuff, so Eleven-Star Field Marshal Nicholas D. Kristof has condescended to give them advice.

(Multiple expletives deleted).

Oh, missed that. Kristof. Of "Mr. Z" fame. Maybe Barbara Rosenberg gave him advice on Iraq too. I heard she calls hereself an "expert."

On the other hand, Kristof does have a way of scaring Washington politicos who think he knows something.

Am I wrong, but does the NYTimes regulars sound more and more juvenile of late? Kristof, Friedman, Dowd.

Heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together
Fighting street to street

Heaven, I'm in heaven,
And the cares that hang around me thro' the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together
Fighting street to street.

To understand why an invasion of Iraq may not be the cakewalk that the White House expects...

You're so out of touch, Nicky, the cakewalk was a dance that was introduced around 1890. Think you should adjust your clock to real time and try to envision a victory dance.

See #15 for the appropriate music.
