p> The Surge br> “The violence in Anbar has gone down despite the surge, not because of the surge. The inability of American soldiers to protect these tribes from al Qaeda, said to these tribes: ‘We have to fight al Qaeda ourselves.’” Sen. Schumer, Sept. 5, 2007 / Floor of the Senate /p> p> Fall of Communism br> The Soviet Empire fell despite, not because of, Pershing missiles pointed at 300 Soviet cities. The inability of NATO to protect Warsaw Pact countries from Moscow dominance said to these satellites: “We have to fight Communism ourselves”. /p> p> D-Day br> Taking the cliffs of Northern France occurred despite the Normandy Landing, not because of it. The inability of Marshall Petain to protect les citoyens from the German occupiers said to the Partisans, “we have to liberate ourselves”. (citation: Le Memorial de Caen / Caen, France) /p>
