Who said 'this' about 'where' and 'when'??

_______said...

Quote:


The fundamental question is: What is the United States’ interest in ________? It is said we are there to keep the peace. I ask, what peace? It is said we are there to aid the government. I ask, what government? It is said we are there to stabilize the region. I ask, how can the U.S. presence stabilize the region?... The longer we stay in _______, the harder it will be for us to leave. We will be trapped by the case we make for having our troops there in the first place.

What can we expect if we withdraw from _______? The same as will happen if we stay. I acknowledge that the level of fighting will increase if we leave. I regretfully acknowledge that many innocent civilians will be hurt. But I firmly believe this will happen in any event.


Can you guess which Presidential hopeful said this?

He said it in 1983 when he voted against sending US peacekeeping troops into Lebanon as Reagan wanted.

Good catch!
