In the last few days, Obama administration officials have frequently faced the question: Is the fighting in Libya a war? From military officers to White House spokesmen up to the president himself, the answer is no. But that leaves the question: What is it?

“tank commander’s burned corpse”

But he wasn’t ... “killed”. That’s such a harsh word, it’s plus ungood!
The poor fellow was `kineticised’.
Or `militarily down-sized’. `Neutralized’. `Terminated with extreme prejudice’.

Let me be clear, make no mistake about it: this not a war.
It is not `regime-change.’ This will take days, not weeks.
When’s my next vacation-—am I flagellated!

I was amused by the WH spokesman yesterday (forgot his name): he said, over and over, talking points: “We are using our unique assets” (to prep the area for others to enforce the no-fly-zone). . .

I guess the United States does indeed have “unique assets. . .”

[illiac]

Kinetic ones at that.....

Says something that this terminology started under Bush, and has intensified under Obama. Just like the rest of his presidency.

“And American English is loaded with euphemisms. ‘Cause Americans have a lot of trouble dealing with reality. Americans have trouble facing the truth, so they invent the kind of a soft language to protect themselves from it, and it gets worse with every generation.”

F him. “Americans” don’t have any more trouble dealing with reality than any other nationality. Carlin was funny and/or insighful a long time ago, but once he hopped on the bandwagon of “Americans suck” and became a bitter old man I lost all interest in anything he had to say.

I guess we need to amend the Constitution to require the approval of Congress before we engage in “kinetic military action”. (/seething, disdainful sarcasm)

I hope the patience of the American people is running as low as mine is with the insulting, condescending, inflammatory behavior of these people. They must have some sort of psychosis making them think they have superior intellect and morals. How will they react to themselves if they ever realize the truth of how foolish and evil they appear?

Sounds like a band: Colonel Kinetic and his Band of Bombers.
