War without end

Not all Americans are fucking idiots. (Just most of them.) Some call it right.

There were no WMDs. There are no WMDs. There would not have been any WMDs had Saddam ruled for another 20 years.

There was no paper shredder. There are relatively few graves of relatively few victims.

We are liberating no one. We are rebuilding nothing. Saddam was a bad man but he mostly kept the power on.

Iran is a nation that poses no threat whatsoever to the US. It is next.

If you're leaving, why are you building?

The Saudis need the Yankees to leave. It's handy to have somewhere to go that isn't too far away.

Remember, we did not fight a war for oil. We fought it for WMDs. So now there are no WMDs, we don't need bases to keep our soldiers in to protect the Middle East from WMDs, right?

Iran has no WMDs. It has a programme to build them but it is willing to trade it.

Iran is next.

The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil, and it followed that any past or future agreement with him was impossible.


There was, of course, no admission that any change had taken place. Merely it became known, with extreme suddenness and everywhere at once, that Eastasia and not Eurasia was the enemy.
