These words of the presidon't make me wonder....

"We have to honor the sacrifices of the fallen by completing the mission... The families of the fallen can be assured that they died for a noble cause."

Is he saying he'd've stayed the fucking course in Vietnam?

1. Oooh.

It got cold in here. Whoooho.
He wouldnt' have stayed the course in a war he studiously avoided fighting in; more chances they would have made him go!!

2. I'd say yes... he would have.

AS long as he was safe in America.

4. The saying about General Patton seems appropriate

our blood and his guts

[Inland]

3. Of course he would have!

The point of staying the course is staying the course. The point of the war is our willingness to go to war. The goal of war is war.

The mission is to tell everyone we will never quit the mission.

This neocon logic is applicable to every war of every era. It really doesn't matter where or what it is. The important thing is that we have one, or are preparing for one. I truly believe this to be the case.
