1. last quote just

2. Best ever!

3. I wonder how Pearl Harbor fits into this.

I guess they weren't "missiles" (you know, with air quotes), but they were bombs dropped from planes. And there were no ground troops.

If the Japanese had said "Well, but it's not really 'war' so you have no right to attack us in return," FDR would have laughed all the way to joint session of Congress.

Drones...bombs. Po-tay-to...po-tah-to.

Obama has just done almost as well as Bush at making that an unavoidable conclusion.

35. Another Country, or group did

A Country, or A group used Planes,( as Missiles) slammed into American targets but no ground troops... we did play semantic games!!
I don't think we can do the same with drones that look like planes that slam missiles into foreign targets.
