Thanks! Excellent audio, though I have to admit the voice sounded more like George C. Scott than George Patton. Do we know that these were the actual words that Patton spoke?

Meanwhile, we extend our best wishes and support to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and especially in the Ba'athist Triangle. Despite the election campaign rhetoric, our servicemen and women should be assured that all patriotic Americans stand behind them. Their battle is our battle.

Do we know that these were the actual words that Patton spoke?

HERE is a website that has TWO versions of that speech. One "watered down" at the top, and one "unsensored" version just below that.

One post there states:

The first quote is from the movie the second quote is his actual speech.

George Patton Speech

I want you to remember that no bas*ard ever won the war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor, dumb bas*ard die for his country. Men, all this stuff you’ve heard about America not wanting to fight – wanting to stay out of the war - is a lot of horse dung! Americans traditionally love to fight! All REAL Americans love the sting of battle …..

And HERE is the full statement.
