State Department Solves 'Jihad' Problem

Tue, Apr 22, 2008 at 4:51:29 pm PDT

What more is there to say at this point except, “Aarrgghhh?” Jihad Watch: New State Department lexicon forbids use of the words ‘jihad’ or ‘jihadist’.

A reliable source has informed me that Condoleeza Rice has approved a new lexicon for State Department usage, absolutely forbidding the use of the terms “jihad” and “jihadist” by any State Department official.

But we know that Condi Rice and State were strongly opposed to Carter's meetings with Hamas. Yeah, I know - that has all the force and effect of a UN Resolution or a Security Council harshly worded statement denouncing someone for doing real bad things.

Still, that State is playing semantics thinking that if we choose just the right words to describe jihad, it will improve our image overseas. Not gonna happen.

Jihadis hate us to our very core. It's their ideology, stupid. As much as the ivory towers want to reframe the issue as one being the fault of America for all that ails the world, this is a problem that began well before the US was even a gleam in the eyes of the Founding Fathers. And unless Muslims around the world finally divorce themselves from the jihadi mindset and stand up against the nihlistic and genocidal thugs who force everyone else to cower in fear, we're going to be dealing with jihad for a good long time to come.

Fail. This last part of Bush's term has been a spectacular failure. He;s turning this country into 1930's Europe. You know, denying that the Nazi (Islamofascist) threat exists and caving in to them and giving them whatever the hell they want.

One of the worst things he did was appoint this "sheep in sheepdog's clothing" Secretary of State.

"Today [March 1, 2005], Rice couldn't have been clearer. "There is firm evidence that Palestinian Islamic Jihad sitting in Damascus not only knew about these attacks, but was involved in the planning," she said."

===

This is going to make it somewhat difficult for State Department spokespeople, press release writers, and Condi herself, to mention the names of several well known Islamic Jihadi terrorist groups.

Every element has a state.

State Dept. is the natural state of Administratium.

New Element Discovered........Administratium

A major research institution has recently announced
the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to
science. This new element has been tentatively
named "Administratium". Administratium has 1
neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons,
and 111 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an
atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by a force
called 'morons,' which are surrounded by vast
quantities of lepton-like particles called
'peons'.Since Administratium has no electrons, it is
inert. However, it can easily be detected as it
impedes every reaction with which it comes into
contact.

A minute amount of Administratium causes one
reaction to take over 4 days to complete when it
would normally take less than an hour.Administratium
has a normal half-life of 3 years; it does not decay
but instead undergoes a reorganization, in which a
portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy
neutrons and assistant deputy neutrons exchange
places.

In fact, Administratium's mass will actually
increase over time, since each reorganization causes
some morons to become neutrons forming 'isodopes'.
This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some
scientists to
speculate that Administratium is formed whenever
morons reach a certain quantity in concentration.

This hypothetical quantity is referred to as
"Critical Morass."You will know it when you see
it...

I remember a party mix of some kind called el-Fidl el-Fadl. It was full of nuts, if I recall.

I honestly thought that Condi would be a very good SecState. But experience tells me absolutely otherwise. She's been a disaster, and if this is correct, it's just another of too many slaps in the face to me.

SHHHH! shhhh! It's apparently a clever attempt to catch Obama -oops- -I meant Osama- off guard and make him misuderestimate our clever use, or non-use of language to keep them from knowing what we're up to, especially when we use the NYT to explicitly tell them what we are up to. (Note the clever use of 'The Onion' earlier to disguise our movements)

Calling John McCain a conservative is another example of this kind of speech misovermanagement.

in my travels around this small planet, also stopped past Japan. They have a drink, suitably renamed for consumption in the west that is called .. wait for it ... CALPIS (pronounced cow-piss). Not that bad, kinda grapefruity but a good drink for when you are sweaty.

But I wouldnt recommend cow piss to my friends. May lose some teeth in that.

I voted for Hunter. In the WA Primary, after he dropped out.
Back when Giuliani and Hillary were the anointed.

Now?
McCain!
