[Mayberry Machiavelli]

4. I've seen this attributed to both LBJ and Gen. Wm. Westmoreland.

How about "bombing them back into the Stone Age"?

12. Gen. Curtis LeMay!

He was the model on which the lunatic AF general that George C. Scott played in "Dr. Strangelove."

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

13. Yeah I always thought it would be fun to make a mixed drink called a Gen.

Curtis LeMay, that "bombs you back into the Stone Age"!!!!

3. Westmoreland?

5. They all did. Over and over. For about ten years in a row...

Just kidding. While a good trivia question, I think it's also a politician's favourite cliche.

6. Both LBJ and Westmoreland have been quoted with this. I guess

it was LBJ administration "talking points".

How about my second question of "bombing Vietnam back to the Stone Age"?

Who's with me on my idea for a Gen. Curtis LeMay cocktail that bombs you back into the Stone Age! What should be in it?

nothing of most in America."
