For Republican debate-watchers - definition of “covert”
See: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/covert
“Covert” - Not openly practiced, avowed, engaged in, accumulated, or shown…as in “covert military operations”
Some of the many, many, many lies we hear repeatedly in these debates are, well, just about everything having to do with President Obama’s foreign policy. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever heard one of these clowns say anything true about this subject. They range from Rick Perry’s amazing (even for him) ignorance about Turkey (makes you want to crawl under your bed and never come out - I felt humiliated before the world on that one) to, well, the lack of understanding of the word, “covert” (how did New Gingrich get a PhD without understanding that word????).
They keep saying that President Obama should be conducting “covert” this and “covert” that, especially with regard to Iran - well, duh…don’t they realize that whatever he’s doing that’s “covert” is necessarily, by definition, “not openly practiced, avowed, engaged in, accumulated, or shown.” It doesn’t take a PhD to know what “covert” means - but this array of clowns has no clue.
I mean, like, killing Osama bin Laden was the result of “covert” activity - meaning,(listen up, Republican candidates), that he didn’t announce what he was doing because it was “covert.” (Get it?)
Can’t they get that? And why has no one in the media called them out on this particular nuttiness? (Maybe because there are just too many nuttinesses to call them out on?)
You heard it here first - now, please, spread the definition of the word, “covert,” around wherever you can to help people understand what it means.
PS: Oh, and if they have such great foreign policy ideas, why do you never hear them mention this name - “George W. Bush”? Why do they avoid this master of crazy foreign policy that resulted in the criminal deaths of thousands.
