"Tidak ada surat kabar liberal yang pernah berbicara tentang invasi Vietnam; mereka berbicara tentang pertahanan Vietnam. Dan kemudian mereka berkata, "baiklah, itu tidak berjalan baik." Oke, itu membuat mereka liberal. Ini seperti, jika kita mengatakan, bahwa kembali ke, katakanlah, Nazi Jerman, bahwa staf umum Hitler adalah liberal setelah Stalingrad karena mereka mengkritik taktiknya: "Itu adalah kesalahan untuk berperang dua perang depan, kita harus ' Saya sudah mengetuk Englad lebih dulu, "atau sesuatu."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

No liberal newspaper ever talked about the invasion of Vietnam; they talked about the defense of Vietnam. And then they were saying, "well, it's not going well." Ok, that make them liberal. It's like, it's if we were to say, that going back to, say, Nazi Germany, that Hitler's general staff was liberal after Stalingrad because they were criticizing his tactics: "It was a mistake to fight a two front war, we should've knocked off Englad first," or something.
