A Study in Constant Motion

Listen, Mr. Pitt, don't you know that Eurasia has always been at war with Oceana....or something like that?

You people need to get with the program! No one actually said that Iraq was responsible for 9/11.

No one actually said that Saddam planned on nuking the U.S. or spreading Small Pox or some damn thing all over the Eastern seaboard.

(Where do we, the people, get such ideas?)

See, this proves it; proves just what the elite have believed for years. Americans are too stupid to govern themselves.

Our plan to get them to believe they were governing themselves with computerized elections was a real stroke of genius. America maintains the image of Democracy, while we turn it into a benign dictatorship.

If we can just pull it off one more time; get the little dumbasses to believe that a good 40% percent of the people changed their minds at the last minute and voted for the R., or at least a D-ino, and that they, then, came out of the voting booth and lied to exit pollers, our real work will be done here, and we will have proved our point again.

See how that works?.

Sincerely

A Study in Constant Motion:

Ari Fleischer's tapdancing behind his podium reached mythological status in July of 2003 when, during a briefing in which he was pressed to explain why no WMD had been found in Iraq, said, 'I think the burden is on those people who think he didn't have weapons of mass destruction to tell the world where they are.'

Come again? The people who said Iraq had no weapons and posed no threat must be the ones to explain where the weapons are? Certainly, the myriad administration officials who promised that stockpiles of WMD were practically falling out of the sky in Iraq shouldn't have to explain themselves. That wouldn't be cricket.

The rest, as they say, is history. The weapons stopped being the story, so put away your plastic sheeting and duct tape. The whole point was to bring democracy to the Middle East by way of Iraq. Then it became about fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here. Then it became about us standing down when the Iraqis stand up. Then it became about standing as referee between factional militias. For a while, it was about staying the course.

Not so much anymore.
