Interesting line in Obama’s speech:
“Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred.”
I actually prefer this to the war on terror formulation as you can’t be at war with a tactic. It is clearly meant to send a signal that Obama, whatever some European governments might like to think, is no deluded dove.
