When and how did the "War on Terror" become the "War on Tyranny"?

[Minstrel Boy]

And do you think most Americans have noticed?

1. The Bushies yell "Tyranny! Tyranny!"

And they're the tyrants!

[Solly Mack]

2. after the lack of WMD

when pushing democracy was the meme they attached to firmly...along those efforts to spread the meme, they labeled it the war on tyranny

[ElsewheresDaughter]

3. on january 20th and no most of the sheeple did not notice it

[Karenca]

4. Like when 'searching for WMD's" became

"Let Freedom Reign". (Ring?)

Fucking Neocons....:evilfrown:

[On the Road]

5. Bait and Switch

Again.

6. it all happened very quickly

the 'War in Iraq' became the 'War on Terror' became the 'War on Tyranny'.
they're just desperately seeking for a name that sells best..

[Cocoa]

7. we have always been at war with tyranny

we have never been at war with terror.

[Kber]

8. When they figured out that a war on terrror would require

thoughtful deplomacy, working with allies, rethinking some of our policies, money for education, a real resolution to the Palistinian issue.

You know - hard work. Much easier to let slip the dogs of war.

Besides - the most likely terrorist targets are all in blue states, so who really gives a shit (sarcasm of course).

9. Same time that "fighting terrorists" became "spreading freedom."

And that the proposed Social Security "private accounts" became "personal accounts."

It's all ShrubSpeak, and it's all Orwellian, all the time. :grr:

[Norquist Nemesis]

10. A few months after the GAO became

the Government "Accountability" Office. Few noticed that one also.

11. Tyranny, like Terror..

is in the eye of the beholder...and such handy labels..that have definition only to the ones that use the terms. Word rationales for whatever actions u want to take..no matter how horrid it is.
