All the Way, Like LBJ
The New York Times has compared the 2005 rhetoric of George W. Bush versus that of Lyndon B. Johnson in 1967:
LBJ: Be assured that the death of your son will have meaning, for I give you also my solemn pledge that our country will persist -- and will prevail -- in the cause for which your boy died.
GWB: These brave men and women gave their lives for a cause that is just and necessary for the security of our country, and now we will honor their sacrifice by completing their mission.
