Can you guess who said this and what was the occasion?

"Never has so much military and economic and diplomatic power been used so ineffectively, and if after all of this time, and all of this sacrifice, and all of this support, there is still no end in sight, then I say the time has come for the American people to turn to new leadership not tied to the mistakes and policies of the past."

George McClellan, 1864, re the Presedential election of that year, expressing dissatisfaction with the policies of Honest Abe.  [I think McClellan was running for the Democratic presidential nomination].

Dwight Eisenhower, 1952, re the Korean War during the Presedential election of that year?

Harold Stassen, same year, same cause?

Last stab at futility for this PM re this question.

Is there a prize for a correct answer?

General MacArthur, 1951, during the Senate Select Hearings into his dismissal by Prez Truman?

Richard Nixon--1968 campaign against LBJ.

Richard M. Nixon in his acceptance speech at the Republican convention in 1968.

Richaard Nixon, who was compainging on the promise of edning the war in Viet Man. As a presdient, he wasn't too bad because at leaast he thot about tings before he did them.

Yes it was Nixon at the 68 convention.

And what have you won?

A NEW CAR!  j/k

TMT

and spread it into Cambodia and Laos?  I wish Bush would resign too.  

If only Nixon hadn't opened relations with China, they wouldn't have taken our manufacturing jobs.

with that fevered imagination of his - and then he went & did them anyway.

he can't find his pencil

Remember that convention? While President Nixon only spied on the war protestors (and broke into their offices), Chicago's Democrat Daley actually had them beat up at that same '68 convention.

Ok,OK, 4 students were killed on Nixon's watch in '70. That whole Kent State thing, tragedy.

As long as we are on trivia, here are some interesting facts about Kent State...

"...77 guardsmen fired 67 shots at the unarmed students (can't figure THAT statistic out, more shooters than shots?, GFD). Although the firing was later determined to have lasted only thirteen seconds, a New York Times reporter stated that "it appeared to go on, as a solid volley, for perhaps a full minute or a little longer.""

"The delicate situation was made all the worse by the fact that most of the victims were Democrats while most of the shooters were Republicans."

(Personally, I just figure that the Republicans were better shots and most of the protestors were Dems, GFD).

he even gave them missile technology secrets in exchange but dang it, then chi-coms lied.....

well, at least the DNC got paid

You know he's too stupid for that.   Sheesh, he needs lawyers to tell him not to disclose his record with the ANG.

Bush can't find his crayon!
