| #9 Actually, one of his best directives would be to bring back the OSS and operate it under WWII rules. |

| #7 Given the fact that Curtis Lemay would be the Secretary of Defense, it truly would be a "fireside speech". :) While we're at it, we could make William Tecumseh Sherman the CIA Director. We could use a good March to the Sea, as in the Red Sea. "I'll make Saudi howl!" It goes without saying Andrew Jackson would be vice-president. |

| #6 "Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet." Theres a lot said in this one sentance. |

| #5 I still can hear those faithful words..."No dumb bastard has ever won a war dying for his country...he won it by making the other dumb bastard, die for his country!" Where are you George S?!! |

| #3 I just loves Curmudgeonly & Skeptical - best graphic blog on the 'Net. The Patton piece, though I am loathe beyond words to quit the WoT, has a terrible appeal. I would have serious mods, of course, for example securing for the US and its true allies the oil and raw industrial materials we require beyond our native borders - and I leave that little exercise to your imagination. I believe, as well, that entire nations should not automatically and necessarily be written off because of their leaders. Call it the fine print of common sense. I would offer a clear and unequivocal one-time-only rapprochement, take it or leave it, to a very select few on List 1 who were led astray by self-serving craven leaders. In the wee hours after a long day, this Pattonesque logic is remarkably tempting. |

| #2 If Patton were here, he would know to shut his damn mouth this time and just kill on command so his toys didn't get taken away again. |

| #1 If Patton was here, he'd turn his Johnson on Bush-Powell's Rainbow Coalition, and act to re-patriate the Middle East oilfields to Anglo-American interests. President Patton wouldn't waste a single American tax dollar for nation-building on behalf of filthy koranimals. Fallujah and Najaf would look like the Moon, after Patton dealt justice to that scum. http://www.turtletrader.com/patton.html |
