Close Enough ...

Over the weekend in an interview with Chris Wallace about Obama’s leadership regarding BP’s Gulf of Mexico oil spill, Haley Barbour, Republican Governor of Mississippi, quipped that “The American people want problems solved. And they don't need Republican politicians like me piling on. The American people are making up their minds pretty clearly about what they think of the administration's performance in this disaster. And I'll let it stand at that.

You know, Napoleon said never interfere with the enemy while he's in the process of destroying himself. So people don't need me to pile on or to talk about what the administration's doing or ought not to do.”

The actual Napoleonic quote was “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”, but we get the drift.
