HI, I'M FROM THE UPI AND I HAVEN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION

Note please this UPI headline, referring to Afghanistan and Iraq.
Marine Corps under pressure with two wars
Let's see if we can all get this right. This is the War on Terror. It is an atypical war in which some nations are (and all nations should be...but that is a different matter) combating a scourge capable of inflicting death and destruction around the world, but whose essence does not lie in one particular state government nor axis thereof. Nonetheless it kills people simply for being not like them.

Sadly, the author of the linked story is a UPI "Pentagon Correspondent". One supposes she might have figured out the one war, at-least-two-fronts thing by now.
