THE PRESIDENT: First of all, this is a different kind of war than a war against the fascists in World War II. We were facing a nation state -- two nation states -- three nation states [Editor's note: Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our four...no... Amongst our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise....see below ] in World War II. We were able to find an enemy by locating its ships, or aircraft, or soldiers on the ground. This is a war against extremists and radicals who kill innocent people to achieve political objectives. It has a multiple of fronts.

A multiple of fronts. This from a man who uses the Google, even. Sheesh.
Are we the new Greatest Generation, then? Our grandparents only had to deal with Hitler and Mussolini, after all. That was a piece of cake compared to this.
Well, Mr. pResident, if you want to be technical, which I know is beyond your capability, then we were at war with SIX nation states as compared to NONE now, as there has been no Declaration of War by ANYONE.
But those are all nuances. We all know that nuances are not your thing.
OK, I'm a dummy: where is the quote in red from?
Monty Python's Spanish Inquisition sketch
I always miss the bus on the Python stuff. Thanks for the update.
keith Olbermann beat me WAYYY bad on this one. Instead of the Spanish Inquisition, he used the Count from Sesame Street. Damn it was funny.
