Great, then to understand what they were saying, you must understand the context of their statements. Revolutionary war. A completely different situation. Cessation from the crown and independence are a completely different thing worth dying for than imperial occupation of a hostile foreign country in order to control strategic (short term) oil reserves. Hale would probably give one of his other lives for Iraq at this point.

No argument there. The primary tool for the trade, however is binary generalizations and a war of sound bites.
