"Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops.

If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone. June 5, 1944."


Those words were written by Dwight Eisenhower before the most substantial and risky military operation in world history. Of course, the Normandy Invasions did not fail, but if it had, the above statement would have been released and it would have been Eisenhower's epitath.

Bush couldn't lead himself out of a wet paper bag. I can't decide who is more stupid, Bush or the people who vote for him.
