In reply to the discussion: Why this sudden push to rewrite history about the Iraq war? [View all]DonB
(53 posts)You may have been been sure, as was I, but thanks to the Goebbels like effort on the part of the henchmen and hench-women in the little "w" administration, something like 65% of the country bought into their well orchestrated propaganda campaign. For Christ's sake, Americans were sold the bill of goods, and the majority bought, the fantasy that Saddam was a participant in the 911 attacks. If you couple that with the bush administrations ongoing campaign of fear, people had little time to get their bearings, even if they wanted to. Yes, a majority of the media, which was even then, packaged infotainment, went along but there were still great outliers, such as McClatchy, doing what media was supposed to do. Not everyone had access to hem and they were buried by the participatory infotainment outlets and a despicable bush administration con job - or as many would say "Putting the CON in CONservative and rethugliCON!"
You may know everything that there is to know about the selling of the Iraq war, but I say "We can never know enough about this Tragedy of Mass Destruction propagated and carried out by the war criminals in the bush administration! Rachel, You Go Girl!".
Finally, the comment I saw in a trailer for the show by General Zinni, was completely new to me, and I had thought I knew pretty much everything about what had happened in the buildup. But as for rewriting history, please remember, History has always been written by the victors, let's get together on this and make sure that the neocons are remembered as they should be, an ideological pack of greedy corporatist warmongers trying to wage a war of choice to make their mark on the history of the world. There are a lot of people that fought, weer injured, and families of those who died that never want to believe that they or there loved ones fought, were injured, and died for nothing but the egos of a pitiful group of petty men and women.
