Islamofascist Crusade - the middle ages updated

it doesn't take a lot of mental acuity or prolonged concentration to read between the lines of this...
"If we do not defeat these enemies now, we will leave our children to face a Middle East overrun by terrorist states and radical dictators armed with nuclear weapons," Bush said. "We are in a war that will set the course for this new century and determine the destiny of millions across the world."

- George Bush in a prime-time speech broadcast on Monday's anniversary of the terror attacks

  • "these enemies" = islamofascists
  • "our children" = white christians
  • "terrorist states" = those that have energy resources and won't suck up to the u.s.
  • "radical dictators" = heads of "terrorist states," even those who are popularly elected
  • "armed with nuclear weapons" = engaged in any type of national defense, nuclear or otherwise
  • "war" = as a wartime commander-in-chief, the executive branch sets all the rules
  • "set the course" = this war is going to probably last through most of our lifetimes
  • "this new century" = project for the new american century
  • "determine the destiny" = the u.s. is the "decider"
  • "millions across the world" = u.s. global hegemony
and, just to make sure he's understood...
"Whatever mistakes have been made in Iraq," Bush said ..., "the worst mistake would be to think that if we pulled out, the terrorists would leave us alone. They will not leave us alone. They will follow us. The safety of America depends on the outcome of the battle in the streets of Baghdad."
