| In which the NY Times' Lucian K. Truscott IV bad-mouths David Petraeus. |

| #15 I got to about the 3d paragraph. This idiot clearly doesn't know his history. His snipe at MacArthur is incredibly ignorant to say the least. |

| #14 Things that are uncontrollable seemingly occur, perhaps, when your folks give you a name that translates as Lucy-Anne in real English. I blame the parents. |

| #13 The most important thing is that Uday and Quasay are still Eadday. |

| #12 Any idea why "Lucian Truscott IV" was booted from the Army? No idea, Rob, but his first novel, published in 1978, was about murder in the West Point gay community, and he is certainly out and proud now. See link. |

| #10 Any idea why "Lucian Truscott IV" was booted from the Army? Drugs? Gay? Gay drugs? |

| #9 A phony report for a phony news paper. |

| #8 If they're going to call this a phony war, are they going to stop pretending OBL was anything other than a middleman between the ISI and the Taliban? |

| #7 Hi, I'm Uday, this is my brother Qusay, and this is my other brother Qusay... |

| #5 Roger that 2x4! Lucian the IV (why do men need numbers after their names?) was a grad of the USAMA Class of 1969. He was kicked out of the Army a year later, which has had a chilling effect on his attitude toward the Army as well as his writings on military and policy matters. A birdcage liner factory makes an excellent pulpit for him. |

| #4 Beso, vile deeds of Qusay and Uday were practically indistinguishable. All Hussains (or Husseins). Same devil's spawn. |

| #3 One too many Qusay's in the above. |

| #2 On 22 July 2003, Task Force 20, aided by troops of the United States Army 101st Airborne Division under command of General Dave Petreaus, had a showdown with Saddam's sons Uday, Qusay and Qusay. These two buggers are no more and the world is now a better place. Please tell us about your West Point appointment and rather abbreviated military career Mr. Truscott. |

| #1 Typical NYT doesn't know that "Phony War" is already in use as a term. |
