Doublespeak is worse than ever

Set your clocks back: it is 1984!!!!! Goerge Orwell lives!!! Doublespeak has arrived!!!!
7/18/2008, tonight this was reported in a story on MSNBC.com:

"The two leaders agreed that improvements in security should allow for the negotiations "to include a general time horizon for meeting aspirational goals, such as the resumption of Iraqi security control in their cities and provinces and the further reduction of U.S. combat forces from Iraq," the White House said. "

The bold and italics are mine. This article attempts to make clear that these two leaders are trying to make clear (????) that a general time horizon is not a time schedule for a troop withdrawl. Got that? Well, I know what it is NOT, but just what in the world is it, exactly? And who, exactly do these two leaders think they are leading? 

And would someone please tell me WHAT THE HELL an aspirational goal is? I thought aspirating was something you did into a mask in the hospital.

What few marbles were rolling around on the floor of the Executive Branch have been lost completely. I have said it before on this blog and I will say it again:

The government thinks we are stupid and we let them get away with it!
