8. See, here's the problem with this kind of propaganda.
It's self-defeating, and it will never work. It's been tried before, numerous times. And it always ends the same way.

The Pentagon is heavily invested in portraying a "rosy" image of Iraq. The media is complicit. They try their best. We're spending millions with the Lincoln Group which writes ridiculous "happy" stories in Iraqi newspapers.

We know the Pentagon is involved in distorting everything that comes out of that country. It's tough because the rest of the world is a little too far from their grasp, so they're always doing damage control.

All of this costs millions. It eats up an enormous amount of time for the planners and Generals. They spend a huge amount of energy trying to promote a bullshit war.

The end result is: complete and utter failure. If they had done the right thing to begin with, they would not have needed to waste all this time trying to create something that isn't there.
