Adama's Earth speech reads like someone desparately trying to convince themself of something as much as their audience.
Adama and Roslin - that was just a resolution of their own screw-up.
Starbuck's survivors are just more mouths to feed, and more people to protect. Sure, there's a small amount of hope, but at the same time they're another problem.
