Doublespeak

Diana offers at 43rd State Blues the phrase used to justify our favorite war "let's fight them there so we don't have to fight them here". Or, rephrased, war over there so we have peace here.

While I was in Kirkuk I re-read Orwell's 1984. One of the famous doublespeak slogans was "War is Peace". Almost exactly what the administration is saying. War there, peace here. War is peace. Incredible.
