State Of The Union Speech

We've finally finished analysing the full text of the speech and it can be summarised as:

"All we are saying, is give war a chance"

Damn! That was the title of

Damn! That was the title of something I was writing :)

Like it, reminds me of an

Like it, reminds me of an old Joan Baez song about Spiro Agnew.

Anyway, you gave the abridged translation; the full text reads:
"All we are saying, is give war a chance (and by the way we meant all Muslims; I mean, no one told me there was more than one sort. Hey, and you Ahmadinejad, put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye ...).

Here was me thinking Georgie

Here was me thinking Georgie boy was saying,

"We need to stablise Iraq or else the whole region will become one big terrorist camp!".

Remind me again who destabilised Iraq in the first place?

A US Senate committee has

A US Senate committee has rejected President Bush's plan to send extra troops to Iraq, passing the measure to the full Senate for a vote next week.

The Democratic-controlled Senate Foreign Relations Committee dismissed Mr Bush's policy as "not in the national interest" in a 12-9 vote.

Which our elite interpretation unit has translated as 'fuck off George'.

Did you note what New York

Did you note what New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, one of the 2008 Republican presidential hopefuls said?:

"I believe we should give the president the support to do this. I want us to be successful in Iraq," he said Wednesday on NBC's "Today" show. "I know how important it is to the overall war on terror. Success in Iraq means a more peaceful world for America, it means a victory against terrorists. Failure in Iraq means a big defeat against terrorists and the war on terror is going to be tougher for us."

Defies all logic. stupid twat...

You did not read the whole

You did not read the whole speech !

It said a lot more than ‘give war a chance’ but the interpretation is the big issue.

For example:

“… we will not pass along our problems to other Congresses, to other presidents (the lower case P for president was from the official White House version), and other generations”

Perhaps he’s saying we’ll be out of Iraq before I’m outta here?

“…the economy grows when Americans have more money to spend and invest”

We’ve gotta fight more wars, as this keeps the economy running. Let’s bomb Iran?

“…income tax reductions set for 2004 and 2006 be made permanent”

The money we’ve stolen from Iraq, means we can lower American taxes (despite having a larger trade deficit than the rest of the world)

I could go on but this is off topic.

Feel free to go on!

Feel free to go on!

While on the topic, have any

While on the topic, have any of you seen Wolf Blitzer's interview with Cheney? It's priceless.

I saw that earlier and a

I saw that earlier and a video of cheny's "death stare". But Wolf folded pretty quickly, he is a pussycat.

Thanks for pointing it out, I'm sure blairwatch readers will find it interesting.

Giuliani's comments remind

Giuliani's comments remind me of Peter van Greenaway's novel "Take the war to Washington". Set in the Vietnam era, it tells how a large group of angry US soldiers, sailors and airmen decide to show the federal government exactly what the war in Vietnam is like by launching an all-out strike on Washington DC. Maybe if something like that happened to New York, Giuliani might regain contact with the vestigial human decency that may still linger somewhere below his politicized exterior.
