I know I will be severely criticized by the interventionists in America when I say we should not enter a war unless we have a reasonable chance of winning.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am bitterly opposed to my country entering the war, but if, notwithstanding my opposition, we do enter it, all of my energy and all of my power will be behind our flag in carrying it on to victory.
Never go to war unless your willing to win.
I am against intervention by a foreign power against us.
I will always be an advocate in terms of wars of necessity. I am just much more cautious on wars of choice.
It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.
When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war.
My view of foreign policy is that we need to be careful and circumspect about United States intervention in any foreign nation.
Make no mistake: the anti-war voices long for us to lose any war they cannot prevent.
War, in our country, ought never to be resorted to but when it is clearly justifiable and necessary; so much so as not to require the aid of logic to convince our understanding nor the ardour of eloquence to inflame our passions. There are many reasons why this country should never resort to it but for causes the most urgent and necessary.
You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will.
