Bush, Churchillianly, Speaks Out Against Terrorists, Nazis

Today at the American Legion's national convention, President Bush predicted that victory in Iraq will be "a major ideological triumph in the struggle of the 21st century." He also said that Islamic extremists are "the successors to fascists, nazis, communists and other totalitarians."

In a somewhat remarkable coincidence, I made a similar speech to a liberal co-worker at a diner just now, about an hour or so after Bush's speech, in which I said: "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."

President Bush also said that the Islamofacist Nazi Commie Totalitarians must not succeed in their attempt "to turn back the advance of freedom and impose a dark vision of tyranny and terror around the world."

Similarly, I said to my liberal co-worker at the diner: "If we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'"

My co-worker at that point said that I sounded a lot like Winston Churchill.

I told him that he sounded an awful lot like an appeaser, like Neville Chamberlain.
