When and how did the "War on Terror" become the "War on Tyranny"?

8. When they figured out that a war on terrror would require
thoughtful deplomacy, working with allies, rethinking some of our policies, money for education, a real resolution to the Palistinian issue.

You know - hard work. Much easier to let slip the dogs of war.

Besides - the most likely terrorist targets are all in blue states, so who really gives a shit (sarcasm of course).

9. Same time that "fighting terrorists" became "spreading freedom."
And that the proposed Social Security "private accounts" became "personal accounts."

It's all ShrubSpeak, and it's all Orwellian, all the time. :grr:

10. A few months after the GAO became
the Government "Accountability" Office. Few noticed that one also.

11. Tyranny, like Terror..
is in the eye of the beholder...and such handy labels..that have definition only to the ones that use the terms. Word rationales for whatever actions u want to take..no matter how horrid it is.
