Newshour: Neocons need to stop using Orwellian Language
They are using it like the communists did:

war is peace
occupation is liberation
transfer of full sovereignty is limited sovereignty

(was from Brzezinski)

Also said the secret handover shows how out of control things are, Bremmer was out of the country within 2 hours, and the government is nothing but a satellite government the communist used to setup.

I guess the gloves are off now

1. He should know
He's part of the reason why we have such a mess in the world these days.

Like the Communists? What, America hasn't been using this type of language forever? We haven't set up satellite governments to our benefit over the years? (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, cough, cough Mr. Brzezinski).

5. I think we'll be seeing less and less of our Realist friend DR. Z
he challenged Kissinger this am, and he is being trashed by the Bushies for his opinions. He needs our support.
