Barack Obama’s “doublespeak” on the war

By: D. H. Williams @ 9:24 AM - EST


Remember when President Bill Clinton got cornered on questions about Monica Lewinsky? The nation was treated to word games about what the meaning of “is” is.

Here we go again.

This time the word games will have a much bigger impact on the nation as Barack Obama and his Administration of Clinton retreads redefine the word “combat”.

In order to maitain the ruse that Obama will be the president who ends the war troops in Iraq will be renamed “trainers” and “advisors” thereby keeping hope alive for ending the war. You will no doubt hear much in coming months about the Obama Administration reducing the numbers of “combat” troops in Iraq.

The public will be told of constantly changing time tables for withdrawal and the definition of withdrawal will be altered to mean different things on different days.

This behavior is even more outrageous when you consider that Barack Obama’s team of war hawks have actually expanded the War on Terror. In his short month in office he and his war hawks have bombed Pakistan repeatedly and increased the number of troops in Afghanistan by 30,000.

“Military planners are now quietly acknowledging that many [troops] will stay behind as renamed “trainers” and “advisors” in what are effectively combat roles. In other words, they will still be engaged in combat, just called something else.” - New York Times

Just how long will the Obama administration get away with deceiving the American people?
