CATASTROPHIC SUCCESS?
This just might be the sound bite we need to take any punch out of the Republican convention.
"Had we to do it over again, we would look at the consequences of catastrophic success, being so successful so fast that an enemy that should have surrendered or been done in escaped and lived to fight another day," -George Bush
I completly understand what he means. To compare and contrast, I have come up with some other "Catastrophic Success" stories and the men whos careers took off as a result:
Custer--Little Big Horn
German General Friedrich Paulus--Stalingrad
Mission Control--Challenger Launch
Earl Mountbattten--Dieppe
Captain Gennady Lyachin--K-141 Submarine Kursk

Don't forget the catastrophic success of Napolean's invasion of Russia, the catastrophic success of bombing Cambodia, and the catastrophic election success of 2000.
