The enemy is us

[LynnTheDem]

In war, you deny information, spread lies and use psychological warfare. An expert on military information operations explains how Bush has mastered this technique -- and used it against the American people.

On Thursday, Iraq's interim prime minister, Iyad Allawi, will speak before a joint meeting of Congress, and from what he said in London on his way to the United States, it looks like Americans are going to be getting more of the strategic information operations that have been crucial to Bush's policy on Iraq from the beginning.

On Monday, Allawi said at a press conference: "Terrorists are coming and pouring into Iraq to try to undermine the situation in Iraq ... And God forbid, if Iraq is broken or the will of Iraq is broken, then London will be a target, Washington will be a target." In those sentences, Allawi employed the basic doctrine of strategic information operations: Influence emotions, motive and objective reasoning. Use repetition to create a collective memory in the target audience. And the recurrent message of both Allawi and the Bush administration is: Iraq = terrorists = 9/11.

Excellent article;

And bush & Cartel keep denying that they're trying to tie Iraq to the 911 attacks in Americans' minds. Guess we'll soon find out just how stupid Americans really are.

2. but to the bushCartel, WE are the enemy.

WE are the ones they're trying to fool/con/dupe.

They KNOW the rest of the entire world KNOWS they're lying through their teeth, and they do not care. They ONLY care about tricking/duping/conning us. We are the enemy.
