> If you say why not bomb them tomorrow, I say why not today? If you say today at 5 o’clock, I say why not one o’clock?
Unless there's context I'm missing, I don't see how this says what you're saying. When I read this quote, I take it to mean, "if you say you want to bomb some time in the future, how do you rationally justify not doing so sooner?" It sounds like it's just an argument about strategy, that if bombing is a foregone conclusion, you're in a better position if you do so sooner than later.
