pouring on the doublethink
senator joe biden, a troglodite from deleware, opened the hearing today before the senate foreign relations committee, subject: those pesky weapsons inspections.
in those opening remarks, he illustrated some of the utter contempt these folks have for true democracy and for the lives of ordinary working people, all rhetoric to the contrary:
[We must say,] as Franklin Roosevelt said, “There will be pain… There will be loss of life…” I sincerely hope, if the diplomatic route is exhausted, that we will have that frank asessment. Because the American people will do whatever is asked of them. But they will resent keenly the implication that we are doing this for a reason that is not real– and I would argue Al Queda is one of those reasons– and further, implying to them, that this will be essentially a costless, bloodless undertaking. |

what would a day in (white)washing-town be without a juicy rationalization such as this? for it is most clearly a very nasty and brutal business not to be confused with the world of the rational.
