Is this beau quote attributed to Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf?

"Going to war without the French is like going deer hunting 
without your accordion"

Hello grthumongous,

This quote is misattributed to Norman Schwarzkopf, as well as to
Donald Rumsfeld and Ross Perot.  The real speaker was Jed Babbin, a
deputy undersecretary of defense from the first Bush administration.

The full quote is "... you know frankly, going to war without France
is like going deer hunting without an accordion.  You just leave a lot
of useless noisy baggage behind."
