Lost in translation
posted by The Vidiot @ 5:54 PM Permalink What they say ... and what they meanWhen he said:"we will not hesitate to act alone, if necessary, to exercise our right of selfdefense by acting preemptively"What I say: While I wouldn't want to violate Godwin's Law, Ya just gotta wonder about the similarities in those statements.
What he meant:"Strength lies not in defense, but in attack."
When he said:"My message to the Iraqi people is this: Seize the moment"What I say: How freakin' disconnected can he be to actually encourage Iraqis to 'seize the moment'!? Well, at least Bush didn't call for a crusade ... oops, sorry, Bush already did that.
What he meant: "Bring it on"
When he said:"Rumsfeld said that many U.S. troops have already been brought home."What I say: 1,500 U.S. Troops in Kuwait Going to Iraq
What he meant: many U.S. troops have already been brought home ... in transfer tubes.
and
50,000 U.S. Troops In Iraq For Decades
and
Pentagon: Iraq insurgency steady until ‘07
I really wish I had some great closer, but my snark deserted me and my frumious bandersnatch has yet to arrrive.
