An Exercise in Cowardice and Deceit

Barack Obama’s nationally televised speech from the White House Oval Office Tuesday night was an exercise in cowardice and deceit. It was deceitful to the people of the United States and the entire world in its characterization of the criminal war against Iraq. And it was cowardly in its groveling before the American military.
The address could inspire only disgust and contempt among those who viewed it. Obama, who owed his presidency in large measure to the mass antiwar sentiment of the American people, used the speech to glorify the war that he had mistakenly been seen to oppose.
The most chilling passage came at the end of the 19-minute speech, when Obama declared, “Our troops are the steel in our ship of state,” adding, “And though our nation may be traveling through rough waters, they give us confidence that our course is true.

US newspeak;War is peace, combat is training, honor is Abu Ghraib, permanent military bases are transitional, attack is defence, patriotism (by the other side) is terrorism, terrorism (by USers) is defence, bankrupting the US is patriotism.

militery-gan gaalidu wadee, gulufka meeleyey
miigiyo kacaye, samada meeraya
markabkaa biyaha quusayee, galaya missileka
madfac iyo kaaraha qufulan, mawsarkiyo jiibka
intaasu midbuu Obama wataa, meel iskugu keenye
asaga maqarka usidoo, dabo maliigtaane
masiirkoodu gaaladuna waa, meel xun iyo naare
muradkiyo ujeedadu ka culus, sida la moodayo
micnahay u jeedaan, hadaan midhidh ka soo qaado
maqriyo shirqool bay wateen, maalin iyo layle
muslimiintan gaaladu jartaye, muruqa loo sheegta
marmarsiguu doonayuu, maanta falayaaye
masnaday ciraaq leedahay, maanka ku hayaane
dhulay maamulaan bey rabaan, kuna muxashaane
macdantiyo saliiday rabaan, inay macashaane
muslimkoo dhan bay rabaan, inay maquushaane
dalba maalin inuu wareero, meesha laga saaro

•"Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought?... Has it ever occurred to your, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now?... The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact, there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinking—not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness."
- George Orwell, 1984

"Your worst enemy, he reflected, was your nervous system. At any moment the tension inside you was liable to translate itself into some visible symptom."
