SEcond sentence is predicated on a big assumption without a real fact base to back it up.
As for misleading I disagree, unless there was intent. I think it was an actual statement of their good faith belief, notwithstanding the possibility that they were wrong. A good leader leads, and is willing to accept that sometimes making leadership decisions and not waffling, flip flopping or being beholden to opinion polls means that you might be wrong. Maybe they were, or maybe they weren't, either way they continue to prosecute the good fight. And I am thankful for that.
