Pardon my French

Highlight of my day yesterday.

On the Ten O'clock News, the BBC's chief political correspondent, 
Andrew Marr, said, in the context of an apparent disagreement over 
Iraq between our Foreign and Defence ministers:

"It's a bit like the situation in the US, where you have the State 
Department (that's like our Foreign Office here) wanting to put 
together alliances and build political consensus, and the Department 
of Defense, who just want to get out there and kick some ass - 
that's an American expression, of course"
