I like this quote. Received it from Seth Godin as part of his The Dip programme
Seymour Hersch quotes the late General John D. Lavelle on Vietnam,
“Hey, either fight it or quit, but let’s not waste all the money and the lives the way we are doing it.”

I guess this is the same quote that finally inspired the Democrats in the US to schedule Iraq troops withdrawl!
One would hope it is. But then all they had to do was look back to Winston Churchill who said,
“It is better to jaw-jaw than war-war”.
They (Blair & Bush) did not take his advice. Look at the cost in terms of the billions of dollars wasted maintaining the forces out there and the cost to their reputations (Blair & Bush) and to the tens of thousands of families in Iraq, Afghanistan and the allied countries left to survive the unesseccary loss of loved ones.
