"What General Weygand called the Battle of France is over. The Battle of Britain is about to begin." - - Winston Churchill
To a question about the Iraq war, Rove offered an instant correction: "It's the Battle of Iraq, not the war [of Iraq]. This is part of the war on terrorism," he said at yesterday's Q&A session in New Hampshire, as reported by Jeff Zeleny in the Chicago Tribune.
Churchill wasn't kidding in June 1940 when he told Parliament , after French General Weygand had capitulated to the Nazis, that Britain would--by herself if necessary-- fight on against Nazism and Fascism. So what does Rove mean? And which members of the fourth estate are asking what, exactly, the concept of endless war entails? Who wins and who loses--if we're constantly at war? Does anyone care?
