GOP Senator says with better intelligence South would have won US Civil War.

At a closed door meeting of the Armed Services Committee, Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) said with better intelligence the South would have won the Civil War, today's ROLL CALL is reporting.

Conflicting reports of what was said have emerged, one from a source to Roll Call's Heard on the Hill column, the other a spokesperson for Chambliss. “We need better intelligence. If we had better intelligence in the Civil War we’d be quoting Jefferson Davis, not Lincoln,” The source told ROLL CALL

Democratic sources expressed outrage that he compared the Civil War to the Bush administration’s war on terror. "It’s a little disgusting" to be equating the two, one Democratic source said, adding, "You can’t figure out whether he didn’t understand the Civil War, or the war on terror, or both."

Yes, And Mr Chambliss, a man so disgustingly putrid that he would slander the honor of a man who actually served in Vietnam, was a decorated war hero and sacrificed two legs and an arm in that war, is such an expert on Wartime Intelligence.

So I'm guessing, how would that 'intelligence' for the South been of use for this country. I'm guessing he thinks that's not such a bad idea.

Of course Mr. Chambliss is denying this - just like he's denying that there was any wrong-doing in his election run against Max Cleland.
