Oh, NICE headline.

Bush warns of 'holocaust' if Iran gets nukes

Okay, he really meant that Iran would begin a holocaust. But the phrasing of this headline (and that of that pissant Drudge) suggests that Bush is promising to start a holocaust. At least that's what my optic nerve told my brain.

I suppose most of the world will interpret it the way Bush meant it. At least I assume that's what he meant. Maybe I shouldn't assume that. After all this time with people comparing him to Hitler, perhaps he's beginning to believe it himself.

Be careful how you throw that meme around, asshole.

not again, not AGAIN...

Yesterday Americans were being warned not to go to Iran, which ought to be a no-brainer, but to each his own.

Today Bush is demanding Iran release American detainees.

Don't go to Iran....because we're going to invade on behalf of four detainees?

Of course not,, says Condi. Why, the very idea!

But the meme has been invoked.

Does "detainees" equal "hostages"? Will Bush use the magic word? Or will he leave it up to us to make the connection through inference?

If we do redefine "detainees" in this way, someone's got some 'splainin' to do about our own "detainees"...right? Like this:

"That's not the kind of detainee I'm talking about!"
