Who is this Churchill guy, anyway?

Last week I saw a newspaper headline which reported "President is praised as a wartime leader on a par with Winston Churchill".

Hmmm....

Do they mean the Churchill who is quoted as saying, "In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies" ?

Or the Churchill who often liked to repeat Stalin's observation that "In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended to by a bodyguard of lies" ?

Or maybe the Churchill who said "Truth is so precious that she must often be attended by a bodyguard of lies," to Stalin at Teheran?

... do they even know who Churchill is ?

Seems like a kinda slippery character, this Churchill guy.
