"I have heard people say, 'After all, we are dealing with a bunch of rats. What we ought to do is go out and shoot them.' Well, I agree that they are a bunch of rats. But just remember this: when you go out to shoot rats, you have to shoot straight because when you shoot wildly, it not only means that the rats may get away more easily -- but you make it easier on the rats."

Meyer Lansky? Definitely a politician or mob boss, which is sometimes both. definitely a republican-minded fellow.

If it isn't a mob guy, either a Bush, Reagan, Ford, Nixon, or Eisenhower.

My guess would be John McCain in regards to the Iraqi insurgency.

The answer:

md came the closest, it was Richard Nixon. This was in 1954, and he was speaking about McCarthyism. This was when he was VP for Eisenhower.

Nixon was one of the first red-hunters but he broke ties with McCarthy when he started going too far. This was part of a speech he gave on TV in a response to Democratic minority leader's Adlai Stevenson's charge that McCarthy was destorying the integrity of the Republican party (which he was).

I just thought it'd be interesting to put here because a lot of us opposed to the Iraq war has a simillar point of view, and thought it was worth noting that somebody who was definitely not a moderate in any way held this opinion about another issue.
