First:
"And
the generals are wonderful, and the fighting is wonderful. But if you give them the right direction, boy, does the fighting become easier. And, boy, do we lose so fewer lives, and win so quickly. And that?s what we have to do. "
And then:
"At a certain age, I remember hearing from one of my instructors, ?The United States has never lost a war.? And then, after that, it?s like we haven?t won anything. We don?t win anymore. The old expression, ?to the victor belong the spoils? -- you remember. I always used to say, keep the oil. I wasn?t a fan of Iraq. I didn?t want to go into Iraq. But I will tell you, when we were in, we got out wrong. And I always said, in addition to that, keep the oil. Now, I said it for economic reasons. But if you think about it, Mike, if we kept the oil you probably wouldn?t have ISIS because that?s where they made their money in the first place.
So we should have kept the oil. But okay. (Laughter.) Maybe you?ll have another chance. But the fact is, should have kept the oil."
I won't even go into his ill-conceived threat to send in "the feds" to Chicago to fix the "carnage."
