Great leaders!

Winston Churchill!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=belzgoxfayo

I'd kill for a leader these days of his caliber! All the good leaders are dead! He knew what needed to be done, and did it. He drew a line in the sand, and sand Nazism shall not pass. The free people of the world shall make there stand here, you shall not pass! What a leader! He brought the best out of not only the British Empire, but of all free peoples of the world. Truely a great man in all respects!

If we were able to elect a president of 1/4 his caliber we would be set!

The RAF: "never in a field of human conflict, has so much been owed by so many, to so few".

I like Eisenhower better.

Here a few quotes:

"Preventive war was an invention of Hitler. Frankly, I would not listen to anyone who seriously talked about such a thing."
Dwight David Eisenhower

“When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war. War settles nothing.”
Dwight David Eisenhower

“We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security.”
Dwight David Eisenhower

“If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.”
Dwight David Eisenhower

“A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.”
Dwight David Eisenhower

All the Republican Candidates except Ron Paul have stated that a Nuclear first strike against Iran wouldn't be off the table.
I think Dwight Eisenhower knew a thing or two about preventive war.

I was thinking along those lines too...

Didn't we just do one of these about 3 or 4 weeks ago ??

Not that I disagree with the sentiment.

PWI. Came back from a bar after I had a few drinks in me, decided to watch the speech's of our latest crop of Presidential candidates, and it depresed me. WTF I did that I simply don't understand.

Mental note never watch Hillary talk when you have some beer in you!
