ANNEX THE SUDETENLAND:
Reading Between the Lines of Bush's Latest Call to Arms


Just a few notes:

For their own safety, all foreign nationals, including journalists and inspectors, should leave Iraq immediately.

So that there are fewer witness to the death and destruction.

Many Iraqis can hear me tonight in a translated radio broadcast, and I have a message for them: If we must begin a military campaign, it will be directed against the lawless men who rule your country and not against you.

Of course, no one can really get out of the way of MOAB and "shock and awe."

As our coalition takes away their power, we will deliver the food and medicine you need.

No doubt something along the lines of the pointless food drops in Afghanistan that looked good on TV but didn't actually feed any relevant number of people at all.

We will tear down the apparatus of terror...

While building up our own...

...and we will help you to build a new Iraq that is prosperous and free.

Like Guatemala or Chile when were through with them.

In free Iraq there will be no more wars of aggression against your neighbors, no more poison factories, no more executions of dissidents, no more torture chambers and rape rooms.

At least, none of these awful things that are run by people not working for us.

The tyrant will soon be gone.

And replaced by a new tyrant.

The day of your liberation is near.

But in this case "liberation" means "new kind of oppression."

More:

Yet the only way to reduce the harm and duration of war is to apply the full force and might of our military, and we are prepared to do so.

What? More war equals more peace? Does he think the American public will believe anything now?

If Saddam Hussein attempts to cling to power, he will remain a deadly foe until the end.

And that's why Bush desperately hopes that Hussein actually won't leave Iraq.

In desperation, he and terrorist groups might try to conduct terrorist operations against the American people and our friends. These attacks are not inevitable. They are, however, possible. And this very fact underscores the reason we cannot live under the threat of blackmail. The terrorist threat to America and the world will be diminished the moment that Saddam Hussein is disarmed.

But everybody should just forget about the reports from the Department of State and the DoD that clearly state that waging war on Islamic populations will cause more, not less, terrorism, huh, George?
