Spin, spin, spin...... perhaps you might want to parse
President Bush's precise words in proper context.....
".....Americans should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign, unlike any other we have ever seen. It may include dramatic strikes, visible on TV, and covert operations, secret even in success. We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place, until there is no refuge or no rest. And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. (Applause.) From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.
Our nation has been put on notice: We are not immune from attack. We will take defensive measures against terrorism to protect Americans....."
Actually to parse his words in context, you might want to
revisist the whole speech. No doubt you will still be able
to spin, misrepresent & distort, but at least you will know
without a doubt that's exactly what you & many of your
peers engage in regularly.
