Haunting words from current and past presidents

I've been collecting a number of interesting quotes and sound bites for a small project:

I'm more worried about other parts of the world. The Middle East, for instance. Iran is where they will start trouble if we aren't careful.
-- President Harry S. Truman, two days after the invasion of Korea:

It's silly talking about how many years we will have to spend in the jungles of Vietnam when we could pave the whole country and put parking stripes on it and still be home for Christmas.
-- President Ronald Reagan, October 10, 1965

The basic problems facing the world today are not susceptible to a military solution.
-- President John F. Kennedy

Mission accomplished
-- President George W. Bush
