BUSH: "American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free it's people and to defend the world from grave danger." March 19, 2003 [1]
[Ferretous says: lol, in Hicks' day when you win the presidency "you go into this smokey room with the twelve industrialist capitalist scum fucks who got you in there ... and this little film screen comes down ... and its a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you've never seen before" ... in our time you meet the "twelve industrliaist capitalist scum fucks" prior to getting elected and then once in someone takes Air Force One for a low altitude spin over Ground Zero in New York]
OBAMA: "Today we are part of a broad coalition. We are answering the calls of a threatened people. And we are acting in the interests of the United States and the world." March 19, 2011 [2]
[WhiteyRound Eye says: I noticed with interest the date they launched this. The Pentagon loves their symbology in the use of dates. Why did they not wait one extra day to begin the air strikes?? They had waited so long as it was. It really would not have altered materially what has since transpired on the ground. But no they chose to launch the strike dead on the same day as the Iraq mess began. Bastards. Also on Bill Hicks' note on the fact we are getting fucked in the ass it brings to mind some classic scenes we saw in Brussels the other day as Belgium was also rocked by massive anti Austerity riots in the recent days:]
