Any good coach will tell you never to underestimate an opponent, even one that seems outmatched. The reason is that when contenders begin a contest assuming they will win easily, their psychology is not prepared for even small setbacks, which then become magnified.

Back to school, Sun Tzupid. I get Normy's columns in my local paper, The (Westchester) Journal News. He followed this laugher with two more similar Chicken Little columns, then nothing for several days. He just reappeared with a piece on affirmative action or something.

I'm sure he's feverishly going through his Clausewitzian universe to somehow find justification for his bonehead articles.

Geez, what a jerk! I'm sure the next time we hear from him it will be nothing but praise for the genius of our military commanders. We've essentially taken two divisions (one Army, one Marine) into Iraq, and in under one month we've wiped out something like 10 Iraqi divisions. Yeah, we really planned poorly for this one!! </sarcasm>

Proof that many PHD's are worth little more than wall paper.

This one isn't worth spit!

[Huck]

LOL. It IS funny, though.

The worst news coming out of initial phases of the assault on Baghdad

Those "initial phases" were known to laymen as Week One.

The above is the reality versus the Bravo Sierra presented by this worthless armchair general. He sounds like a Russian advisor re the war being fought!

Fine French Wines in Baghdad

Okay after we off Soddomite's French Brie collector, we go due north for two blocks to liberate some fresh baked French Bread after we kill Soddomite's baker. Nothing like a great 1983 French Red, Brie and Bread for a picnic on the Tigris! Someone tell the FNC reporter, to meet us at Baghdad Bob's front yard for the picnic.

[Grampa Dave]

Which of the armchair generals below is the worthless Norman?

[sirshackleton]

"Professor Clausewitzian" should sign up for the service and regale his commanding officers with his immense intellect.

[Frumious Bandersnatch]

He seems to totally overlook the fact that the American Revolution did not end due to a guerilla action...
