I found an interesting quote of Rove quoting Napoleon

[Toots]

Rove quoted Napoleon: "The whole art of war consists in a well-reasoned and extremely circumspect defensive, followed by rapid and audacious attack."

1. And here he goes -- we'll see if this one works. My God, he's evil. nt

2. Oh, I thought you were going for his more pedestrian remarks!!!!

One time Rove was displeased with the work done by a Republican advanceman. Rove’s response was: “We will fuck him. Do you hear me? We will fuck him. We will ruin him. Like no one else has ever fucked him.” And that was a guy who was on his side.

3. quoting is not making the man...

and besides he'll be soon meeting his Waterloo

4. This is somewhat unrelated, but you know what I've noticed?

Every time I hear some piece of wisdom on how to fight wars, it seems to me that it's so simple it's not worth saying. Yeah, that includes Sun "hit them when they're not looking! Brilliant!" Tzu.

Remember the so-called "Powell Doctrine" that so many morons on TV just loved to quote for so long, like it was this brilliant piece of strategy? It was basically, "HAVE MORE GUYS".

lol.

5. Napoleon also said...

..."religion is what keeps the masses from killing us."

Sort of applicable with this bunch isn't it?

6. Well, they've let the "well-reasoned and extremely circumspect defensive"

part slip away pretty spectacularly.

7. A "rapid and audacious attack"...right into Russia in the wintertime

Yeah -- worked great, Karl.
