Bush's doublespeak on Iraqi time tables

[Spytheweb]

Doublespeak (sometimes double talk) is language constructed to disguise or distort its actual meaning, often resulting in a communication bypass. Doublespeak may take the form of bald euphemisms (e.g., "downsizing" for layoffs) or deliberate ambiguity. Doublespeak is a disparaging label for any euphemistic term perceived to be uttered in bad faith.


WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush has agreed to set a "general time horizon" for deeper U.S. troop cuts in Iraq, the White House said Friday, a dramatic shift from his once-ironclad unwillingness to talk about any kind of deadlines or timetables. The announcement put Bush in the position of offering to talk with Iraqi leaders about a politically charged issue that he adamantly has refused to discuss with the Democratic-led Congress at home. It also could complicate the presidential campaign arguments of Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama who have staked out starkly opposite stands about the unpopular war .

What do you expect from this rotten puke? A month ago he is talking about appeasement and embarrassing our country on a foreign land, and now the prick is sending someone over to Iran to talk, forgetting just a short month ago he was accusing Obama of being for appeasement.:shrug: Sad part is i don't hear a word about this but i sure as hell heard a lot about it when BUsh accused Obama with appeasing.

Sounds like he is coming around the the DEMS way of thinking! Weasel, DTB, any comments on why Bush is willing to surrender? Maybe DTB can send him a copy of that book by that Viet Cong General.:142smilie
