Tony Snow at CPAC: We didn't create the war in Iraq, We didn't create the war on terror.
http://www.rawstory.com/news/2007/Snow_We_didnt_create_war_in_0301.html

Speaking at the Omni Shoreham Hotel's Regency Ballroom in Washington DC, the presidential advisor said, "We didn't create the war in Iraq. We didn't create the war on terror."

...

"His message for conservatives was simple: take off the dark-colored glasses 'because we've got a lot of work to do,'" Ivy J. Sellers blogs. "The world is watching and waiting, Snow told the crowd, and 'when we win...the rest of the world's going to say, 'We want to be like American.'"

Other speakers scheduled to speak at the conference, which will run through Saturday, include Vice President Dick Cheney, Fox News Channel anchor Sean Hannity, Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY), former Congressman Tom DeLay (R-TX) and controversial columnists Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin.

Senator John McCain (R-AZ), a 2008 presidential candidate, is being criticized for skipping out on the conference.

8. Significant backpeddling. From "war preznit" to "we didn't do it". Good sign!
Of course, it confirms once again that the notion of responsibility for them is merely a stick to beat your enemy with. But I am glad it dawns on them that dark colored glasses are in order.

The History of White Rose:

"White Rose (German: die Weiße Rose) was a non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany, consisting of five students from the University of Munich and their philosophy professor. The group became known for an anonymous leaflet campaign, lasting from June 1942 until February 1943, which called for active opposition to Adolf Hitler's regime."

18. Good choice, Mr. Snow!
Astonishingly good choice of audience, Mr. Snow. The only group of people you could possibly assemble who would actually believe those lies. I'm impressed. If you had chosen any other audience on the face of the planet, including Mrs. Patterson's Brownie Troop, you would be modeling the latest in tar and feathers.

As it is, you probably got applause from a cadre of the most ignorant, unfeeling wretches in human form to pollute the earth since it cooled. Well played, sir.

19. Okay, and We have always been at war with EastAsia, not EurAsia!
It appears that Mr Snow has finally succumbed to Doublethink. Cheney as O'Brien: "How many fingers am I holding up, Tony?" "Four? Six? I don't know Uncle Dickie!! AHHHHHHH.... Make it stop!".

Later, Mr Snow was seen at The Victory Cafe drinking his gin with a confused, but greatful face...

23. More from the fertile minds of the right-wing
"The Ministry of Peace (Newspeak: Minipax) is one of four ministries in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. Along with the Ministry of Truth, the Ministry of Love and the Ministry of Plenty, the Ministry of Peace governs in the Oceanic province of Airstrip One. It serves as the militant wing of Oceania's government, and is in charge of the armed forces, mostly the navy and army. The Ministry of Peace may be the most vital organ of Oceania, seeing as the nation is constantly at war with either Eurasia or Eastasia and requires just the right force to not win the war, but keep it in a state of closeness.

As explained in Goldstein's book, the Ministry of Peace revolves around the principle of perpetual war. If the citizens of Oceania have a well-defined enemy, Eastasia or Eurasia, then they know who they hate, and constant homeland propaganda helps to convince them to vent all their unconscious rage for their own country against the opposing one. Since that means the balance of the country rests in the war, the Ministry of Peace is in charge of fighting the war (mostly centered around Africa and India), but making sure to never tip the scales, in case the war should become one-sided. Oceanic telescreens usually broadcast news reports about how Oceania is continuously winning every battle it fights, though these reports have little to no credibility.

As with all the other Nineteen Eighty-Four ministries, the Ministry of Peace is named the exact opposite of what it does, since the Ministry of Peace is in charge of maintaining a state of war."
