A comic strip character named Pogo. The actual quote is: "We have met the enemy and he is us". Pogo author, Walt Kelly, first used the quote on a poster for Earth Day in 1970. For more info, visit www.igopogo.com/we_have_met.htm.
There was a very popular comic strip of the fifties, and sixties called Pogo. It was about Pogo Possum and a bunch of colorful, characters that lived in the Okefenokee Swamp. In one of the strips (I can't find the date it originally ran), Pogo and a friend are standing in front of a place used to dump trash in the swamp, discussing lamentable situation. In the last frame, Pogo says "We have met the enemy and he is us".They have recognized that the trash befouling their swamp consists of the kinds of things that they all use themselves. The line caught on and it was used for a poster for Earth Day 1970. It has since become a well known saying and a slogan for the "green" movement.Pogo's line is based on the famous quote of US Navy Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry's report to headquarters upon his capture of the British fleet on Lake Erie in a battle of the War of 1812, "We have met the enemy and they are ours."

Appomattox. The first Civil War battle in the Eastern US was fought on his farm. He was so distressed about the effect it had on his family that he sold his farm and bought a farm in a quiet out of the way location called Appomattox. By chance when Generals Lee and Grant met to sign the articles of surrender they met at his house. The Civil War started and ended in the same place, on Wilbur McClain's property.
Walt Kelly (1913-1973) was a cartoonist who wrote "Pogo". Pogo paraphrased Commodore Perry's famous quote from the war of 1812, "...we have met the enemy, and he is ours..."; In 1953, Pogo said, "...we have met the enemy, and he is us..."
"We have met the enemy and he is us."

This remark originally appeared in the introduction to a POGO book, where Walt Kelly paraphrases Oliver Hazard Perry's famous dispatch after having won the battle of Lake Erie: "We have met the enemy and he is ours." Kelly writes "We have met the enemy, and not only is he ours, he may be us." Kelly loved to recycle his jokes, so the idea reappeared many times, including as the title to one of the later POGO books.Answer:The original statement was "we have found the eneny and he is us". It came from a newspaper cartoon written by Walt Kelly. and was said by Pogo, and oppossum to his buddies who were an alligator and an owl. can't remember the name of the cartoon. Answer:The Quote is correctly "We have found the enemy and he are us" said by POGO in the comic strip of the same name. Albert was the name of the alligator. Answer:The correct quote (I'm looking at the cartoon drawing) is: "WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY AND HE IS US" all caps.It is set in the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia:Pogo ....................... possumAlbert ....................... alligatorHowland ................... owlChurchy la Femme .... turtlePorky Pine ................ porcupineBeauregard .............. hound dogFremont ................... bugYou see I'm a 70 year old American and have been taking advice and direction from POGO for years. The older I get the wiser POGO seems to get. I believe he must be a descendent of a Roman philosopher. The Romans didn't listen to them either.****Note: The ORIGINAL was first published in 1950-1951 in a book by that title: We have met the enemy and he is us. The book was a political tome' in protest about pollution.
It's not a ally or a enemy its a NATO.
