Lexicon of War
The BBC have a handy guide to the warmongering jargon: Part 1, Part 2.
It includes a Bush gem that passed me by:
Legs of responsibility - what the UN needs to regain, according to George Bush: “…in the post-Saddam Iraq the UN will definitely need to have a role. And that way it can get - begin to get its legs - legs of responsibility back.”
The man’s a poet.
Too many words for making violence sound less horrific. Self important twonks the lot of them!
