Timeless quote on "armchair quarterbacking" the war

"Why, it appears that we appointed all of our worst generals to command the armies and we appointed all of our best generals to edit the newspapers. I mean, I found by reading a newspaper that these editor generals saw all of the defects plainly from the start but didn't tell me until it was too late. I'm willing to yield my place to these best generals and I'll do my best for the cause by editing a newspaper." --Robert E. Lee (TOTH to The Federalist)


This great quote would apply, today, to the talking heads on TV, as well as liberals in the Congress and Senate. I'm sure that Teddy "Quagmire" Kennedy and his ilk think they could command a military campaign far better than the President and the Pentagon have done so far.

Clueless fools!
