Update
Back on 1 SEP 07, I posted a list of quotations drawn from another of my web sites. Among them was a quotation from Jed Babbit, former Undersecretary of Defense. Mr. Babbit made the comment in response to a press query about going to war in Iraq (1990-1991) without support or overflight clearance from France. I originally provided what I found out tonight to be an abbreviated form of the quotation:

[G]oing to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordion.
I learned tonight that a fuller quote, and one more appropriate, goes like this:
[G]oing to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordion. You just leave a lot of useless noisy baggage behind.
Overall, much more apropos, in my opinion.
