In yesterday's inaugural address, George W. Bush gave notice to the world that American imperialism intends to press forward with it's drive for world domination. The US president issued a call to arms, a jihad, making clear that no country or government will be permitted to stand in America's path.

True to form, Bush delivered a series of disconnected assertions, lies, and banalities. He made no coherent argument, but repeated certain key phrases over and over again, centering on the God-given mandate of the US to intervene anywhere in the world to advance the cause of "freedom." In a twenty-minute speech, the president uttered the words "free" or "freedom" 34 times, and the word liberty another 12 times.

The absurd repetition of "freedom" is unlikely to decieve anyone, certainly not victims and opponents of his first administration's crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and the rest of this government stand waist deep in blood and filth, responsible for the killing of more than 100,00 Iraqis and the death and maiming of thousands of American soldiers.
