Condoleeza Rice (the lying Secretary of State, not the oil tanker):
"I know we've made tactical errors, thousands of them, I'm sure," she said. "But when you look back in history what will be judged on is" whether the "right strategic decision" was made.
Very true. Historical words; Ms Rice stands on the shoulders of giants:
"This could have gone that way, or that could have gone this way," said Pope Urban II, adding that the Rome-led invasion was "the right strategic decision".
"This could have gone that way, or that could have gone this way," said Mr. Khan, adding that the Mongol-led invasion was "the right strategic decision".
"This could have gone that way, or that could have gone this way," said Mr. Bonaparte, adding that the France-led invasion was "the right strategic decision".
"This could have gone that way, or that could have gone this way," said Mr Hitler, adding that the German-led invasion was "the right strategic decision".
"This could have gone that way, or that could have gone this way," said Ms Rice, adding that the US-led invasion was "the right strategic decision".
Of course it was.
