(5,082 posts)18. Deception Is Weapon Of Choice
The first casualty of war is Truth for all you bloodthirsty apologists out there. They got their excuse to incurr deeper and murder more civilians. Everything in these wars is based on deception all the way back to 13 years ago. It's a tool. And our country is filled with eager consumers of lies whose gullibility knows no bounds. I knew a girl once who borrowed a lot of money and left it in a car which got broken into and stolen. Not only did she have to pay the person back but because it took a while she also had to work for them. Turned out the person who loaned it to her is the one who broke in. Countries are no different than people.
