The Newspeak of John Bolton

From the Frameshop:

"'Newspeak,' is a term used George Orwell's political novel 1984 (published in 1949) and also in an earlier essay Orwell wrote caled 'Politics And The English Language.' it means, roughly: words and phrases that people in power create and use with the specific goal of masking the truth of government action."

"What was Bolton hiding in these statements about the Middle East? The answer is not hard to find: The Bush administration is talking about 'peace,' but in fact they are quite interested--if not satisfied--with the current 'war.' If you want war, but need the American public to think you want peace--get John Bolton on the phone. He has all the newspeak you need to mask your true intent."
