By now we know that all of Mr. Bush’s prepared speeches are written for him by a large staff of professional writers. That is why he usually sound intelligent when reading one of these speeches and why he sounds stupid when he speaks “off-the-cuff”.
In order to make his speeches more realistic, and closer to his personality, I suggest the White House fire all these professional writers and hire a whole new staff of Texas-grown school dropouts to write (hopefully they learned how) his future speeches.
On Thursday, Bush, in a prepared speech, said a foiled plot to blow up US-bound passenger jets from Britain showed the nation was “at War with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation”.
I believe that the use of “Islamic Fascists” is the new key phrase to replace “War on terror” which the general US public no longer accepts as meaningful. With over-use many key Bush slang gets worn out and the skillful professional staff writers find new words that I’m sure have to be approved by Karl Rove and Dick Cheney before Mr. Bush is allowed to use them.
By using the words “Islamic Fascists” he has further infuriated the Islamic world by emphasising that maybe he is on a Christian Crusade against all Muslims and not just “terrorists”.
Maybe this is war on Islam in disguise of war of terrorism?

Shortly before the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, Bush had called his War on Terrorism a “crusade”. A day later, the White House apologised for using the loaded term which recalls the Christians’ medieval wars against Muslims in the Holy Land.
The word ‘fascist’ is associated with ideologies such as that of dictator Mussolini and not that of jihadists such as Sunni extremists. The term is being used by Bush improperly and is being used as a political tool to increase hysteria.
Mr. Bush should learn the meaning of words before uttering them to the US public and the world. Just because his expert writers and Karl and Dick say it’s ok to use, does not mean its appropriate. For all we know maybe they all wanted to further infuriate the Islamic world.
Wikipedia defines Fascism as a radical totalitarian political philosophy that combines elements of corporatism, authoritarianism, extreme nationalism, militarism, anti-anarchism, anti-communism and anti-liberalism.
Gee, the above definition seems to describe the new Bush Administration to a “T”. Every word above makes me think of where this country is since Bush’s shadow engulfed us in 2000. But most of the definitions have nothing to do with Terrorism.
