Can We Kill 'Em Tommorow?
Via NTodd, Bill Clinton reflects on the argument that the failure to use military force might make us look weak:
"I always thought of Senator Fulbright and the terrible quagmire in Vietnam and how many times we sent more soldiers and found ourselves in a hole and kept digging because we didn't want to look like we were weak. So anytime somebody said in my presidency, 'If you don't do this people will think you're weak,' I always asked the same question for eight years: "Can we kill 'em tomorrow?"I hope the current administration considers whether or not we can kill Iranians tomorrow."If we can kill 'em tomorrow, then we're not weak, and we might be wise enough to try to find an alternative way," said Clinton.
