When and how did the "War on Terror" become the "War on Tyranny"? |
|
And do you think most Americans have noticed?

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:
