Back to the old standby saw. Just think of Ted Kennedy's voice. "After Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, FDR allowed us to be distracted and bogged down in the European theater. The failures in the Pacific by our tiny forces there are due to lack of resources and split attention. We floundered in Guadal Canal. Iwo Jima was an outrageous mess. And for what? To suffer death on a grand scale on D-Day and nearly experience our own Dunkirk from the Battle of the Bulge. Forces were simply spread too thin on both fronts. But for the Grace of God, thanks to the lucky win at Midway, the Scheming of Patton to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat at the Battle of the Bulge, and the desperate Island Hopping strategy of MacArthur, we nearly lost the Free World. I, Ted Kennedy, demand that the Commander in Chief step down in shame. I demand that the entire Department of War be abolished, and that a new, improve Department of Peace be established. I demand that we quit messing around with Hitler, who never did anything to us, other than sink a few cruise liners who should have stayed clear of Europe to begin with! Let's focus on the Real Enemy, Japan!"
