Useless Words

Reading and watching the coverage of the latest Syrian chemical weapons attacks against their citizens reminds me of how many completely useless words and phrases there are in official "government speak".  The reality is not pretty...and pretty damning (videos courtesy of Reuters):



Watch for these phrases in the next video and this article.

• "call for"   (putting our two cents in even though it won't matter)
• "Demand" (send us more guns)
• "as is our right" (we are the chosen people and therefore always right)
• "seek clarity" (we are an impotent organization with no power and have no idea what we can do (UN))

Don't you just want to have a 'truth dome' that descends over the world sometimes???
