The war on terror is over. Now it's something else. |
|
Bush says it is now a struggle against world extremists.
In other words, he knows the military can't win because the enemy is everywhere. So why did he use the military in the first place, other than to destroy an innocent country to profit his global corporatists?
U.S. citizens are waking up to the pure evil of this man and his neocon administration.
Be of good cheer. The "good" will win out and it isn't the right-wingers.

5. Does he also include his faithful followers? Many who can be |
|
labled "Extremists". I wonder if he is now beginning to fear his own base?

"Violent extremism" will doubtless be applied to the left in the US.

Now the Bush Regime is cleverly changing the slogan of "War On Terror" to "The struggle against violent Extremists" taking the word War out to wipe out the perception of War. No war. No War Crimes. No protest against War. The Rethugs are clever, eh?

8. This is probably about London. |

They're trying to escape their own foolishness. The old nonsense about "We're fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here" has been exposed as the dung heap it always was.

9. This change of terminology scares the hell out of me |
|
What a subtle bit of psychicological manipulation. They are geniuses.
First there is a "War on Terror" after the traumatic events of 9/11. Rah rah let's roll let's moke them out show them they can't do that again, oh crap, Saddam can make nukes, we'll take him out too!!!!!! (i pledge allegance to the flaggie....) Nationalism disguised as patriotism. Now it is not a war, but all the same stuff is still happening, all the rights are still taken away, the enemy is everywhere, report tips on your neighbors, on suspicious people, watch out be alert they are everywhere!!!! We must keep you safe, hold onto your rights because only we can keep you safe.
Fuck. This language change scares me.

11. Who died and put Karl Rove in charge of the English language. |
|
If we wanna talk about wars, why aren't our pundits on TV talking about the GOP's War on Jobs and War on the Economy?
