Orwell's "Doublespeak" has arrived!
Remember how the Ministry of Truth [sic] in 1984 erected a giant pyramid with the following phrases inscribed for all to see: "War is Peace," Freedom is Slavery," and "Ignorance is Strength."
Well, GWB has straightened out exactly what he meant by "We will stay the course" so as to clear up the confusion.
What he meant to say was "[It] means 'don't leave until the job is done. We will stay until the job is done in Iraq." That was his explanation [sic] at the "media conference" a couple of days ago.
Hmm ... what's the difference? It still sounds like "We will stay the course" to me ...
If that weren't bad enough, his spokesman explained, "stay the course" now means "a study in constant motion." Bush explained earlier in the month (October 11) that "stay the course" means "keep on doing what you're doing." [October is rapidly becoming the deadliest month of 2006.]

Hi Joe from Iran,

i read the book and the saw the movie as well... what a shock..i am always scared that humanity is trapped in this kind of dictatorship, based on lies (fake ennemy for exemple). you exagerate to compare with Bush but i can understand. what i can remember is that even love is forbidden, even thoughts.. the crime by thoughts. believe me some contries with people maipulated... i will write later about it... take good care
le rouge et le noir -
Yeh, thought crimes are rapidly becoming a part of the world culture (in accordance with 1984, aren't they?
It's probaby worse on your side of the world, but growing in the West as well.
cheers
MWN (Joe)
