The American Spectator : Obama's 'Strict Code of Conduct':
General Stanley McChrystal's derisive comments about pols look mild compared to General George S. Patton's assessment of them. Patton called the 'tin soldier' politicians of his day 'lily-livered bastards.'
'You just wait and see,' Patton said at the conclusion of World War II. 'The lily-livered bastards in Washington will demobilize. They'll say they've made the world safe for democracy again. The Russians are not such damned fools. They'll rebuild, and with modern weapons.'"
