James Antle on a recent Bob Dole quotation:

"I figured it up the other day," Bob Dole memorably snarled during the 1976 vice presidential debate. "If we added up the killed and wounded in Democrat wars in this century, it would be about 1.6 million Americans -- enough to fill the city of Detroit." It wasn't Dole's finest moment as an orator, but it should be a cautionary tale for a Democratic president seeking bipartisan support for a "surge" in Afghanistan.
