these attempts to get the historical record right are just petty personal attacks aimed at distracting voters from the issues. who cares if there really were tanks there or not? the fact is that that is the way arnold remembers it and personal recollections should not be questioned when they are delivered by a high-profile politician. democrats cannot win on the issues so instead they unleash their well-oiled austrian attack machine. just because these austrians (all wealthy donors to the kerry campaign no doubt) were actually there and witnessed these events doesn't mean they have the right to question arnold when he makes political hay out of poorly recollected memories.
this just sickens me people.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
