"We're at war with a bunch of people" Can someome please explain WTF
he meant by that?

A "bunch of people"?

"We're at war with a bunch of people who want to hurt the United States of America," the president said. "What we were doing was the right thing."

What we "were" doing? Did I miss something while I was sleeping?

more of the fool's idiocy is here:

1. It's the war on bunches
We're fighting bunches over there so we don't have to fight them here. Pass it on.

3. Don't you know???
That's cowboy talk. I'm surprised he hasn't slipped by now, calling the American citizens "herds".

4. Well, see, um
it's a different kind of war than we're used to... After 9/11, we had to look at the world differently... (chants -USA USA USA- and applause.) We're on the hunt... That's why we're bringing Al Qaida to justice... My mother treated the dog better than she treated me... (Laughter.) Seventy five percent of them have been brought to justice... and we can do whatever we want to do that feels best in the moment... the best way to protect the homeland is to go on the offense, is to find these people in foreign lands and bring them to justice before they come here to hurt us... Saddam Hussein was a threat because he could have given weapons of mass destruction to terrorist enemies... Our strategy is twofold... Listen, when people come after us, we're plenty tough. We're a compassionate nation. And so we're on the hunt...

Glad I could help clear that up. :crazy:

9. During the debates
they were a "bunch of folks." Like he was talking about the Hatfield-McCoy standoff or something.

12. When you make 'war' on a tactic, you can't possibly make sense.
