"A generation shaped by Vietnam must remember the lessons of Vietnam. When America uses force in the world, the cause must be just, the goal must be clear, and the victory must be overwhelming."
George W. Bush
2000 Republican Convention

is that supposed to be some "got ya!" quote?

Nope, just thought you all might be interested in what dubbya was spouting four years ago.

Funny, he isn't saying that this time around. Guess he flip flopped.

well I guess anyone who sees Iraq as unjust and unclear and a loss would agree with you, seems your preaching to the liberal choir though, as the only people who will see this as a flip flop are those who already oppose it. I dont see it as unjust, unclear or a defeat

the cause must be just - the cause has changed about four times since inception. It is debatable weather the current reason is just.

the goal must be clear - That has changed a few times too. What is it this week?

and the victory must be overwhelming - oh yes, in about 18 monthes every Iraqi will lay down their weapons and throw their arms in the air. We can't win this.
