Bush: I Don’t Want the War
The following — best read aloud! — was generated by passing a five-word window across a passage from Bush’s loathesome chat with the Spanish prime minister in February 2003, weeks before launching the war in Iraq. (I actually deleted one word for euphony — you’ll probably notice.)
I don’t want the war
don’t want the war I
want the war I know
the war I know what
war I know what wars
I know what wars are
know what wars are like
I know the destruction and
know the destruction and death
the destruction and death that
destruction and death that comes
and death that comes with
death that comes with them
I am the one who
am the one who has
the one who has to
one who has to comfort
who has to comfort the
has to comfort the mothers
to comfort the mothers and
comfort the mothers and widows
the mothers and widows of
mothers and widows of the
widows of the dead
Of course for us that
course for us that would
for us that would be
us that would be the
that would be the best
would be the best solution
Besides it would save us
it would save us fifty
would save us fifty billion
