Of all JK's lies, this one is the most disturbing: "The President Is Not Asking You To Go To War"

[Why Syzygy]

65. Everyone

equates "war" with an attack on other people . or drugs, or poverty or or or ... It's a series of actions that are performed with the intent of destroying something that doesn't belong to you. It's a crime on every level, from throwing bricks through a neighbor's window or shooting big explosive things at people and buildings.

So the 'lie', or misleading statement does amount to a false statement, if that is your criteria for the single word, "war". The false information is really the TRUTH .. as in, we are going to go blow up, destroy, perform other war like actions on other people and their physical assets. But we're not calling it a "war", in this case, because then everyone would get up in arms and be opposed to the idea.

What? Do you write legislation for some lobby?


But it is a WAR! It's a godam war on chemical weapons! ... I think he could have gained more ground if he had framed it that way. WAR ON CHEMICAL WEAPONS. Then people would be in favor.
