I am reminded via e-mail, of a famous quote In consideration of the press being busy calling General Patraeus a liar, just because he openly disagrees with the leftist narrative on Iraq, I pass it on to you, here:
“It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces, and our most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers. In fact, I discovered by reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses plainly saw all my strategic defects from the start, yet failed to inform me until it was too late. Accordingly, I am readily willing to yield my command to these obviously superior intellects, and I will, in turn, do my best for the Cause by writing editorials – after the fact.”
—General Robert E. Lee, 1863.
