Bush likens war on terror to WWII

BBC News snip:

President Bush has strongly defended the US-led war on terror, casting it as a struggle between freedom and tyranny similar to World War II.

In a speech to new air force officers, he said they were fighting the same war as those who battled the Nazis.

The war on terror, he said, resembles "the great clashes of the last century" between democracy and totalitarianism.

Mr Bush was speaking at the Air Force Academy, ahead of ceremonies marking the 60th anniversary of D-Day.

I'll bet he uses the same language in his D-day speech.
