John McCain, speaking to Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, trying his best to turn Russia's invasion of Georgia into 9/11:
"I know I speak for every American when I say to him, today, we are all Georgians,"
I think I speak for most Americans when I say:
"Does he mean the state?"
In all seriousness, if the battle over South Ossetia is 9/11, then didn't McCain just commit us to a military response, since that's how the United States responded in the aftermath of the WTC attacks? The election hasn't even happened yet and he's trying to start new wars.
Some people might call that "presumptuous."
