The American People are the Enemy in the War in Iraq

A propaganda operation at the hands of the Bush Administration and its supporters is underway as I write this. The intention is to manufacture consent in the continuance of a great national purpose*. To do this, the propaganda must manipulate, confuse and ultimately assist in the defeat of the great enemy. The enemy is all around you. It looks like you. It IS you. That's right, the American people are the enemy.

The propaganda is aimed at you and it is about you. This propaganda effort is about smearing the opinion of the majority of Americans as mere politics and "defeatism".

The Drudge Report reports that, according to a "top GOP operative", "the Republican National Committee will provide state parties with a web video prior to release [Friday, December 9] that shows a white flag waving over images of Democrat leaders making anti-war remarks." It’s hard to believe this is the first time the Republicans have heard of such an idea.

I think the administration is listening. We are going to scale back the the troops in Iraq.

FALLUJA, Iraq (Reuters) - U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said on Friday the number of U.S. combat forces in Iraq would be cut by some 7,000 by early next year, but the numbers involved in training Iraq's new military would increase.

Army General George Casey, the U.S. commander in Iraq, later told reporters that the U.S. force would be reduced to a new baseline of about 130,000 from the current standard level of 138,000.

Rumsfeld, the second senior U.S. official to visit Iraq this week in the wake of Iraq's parliamentary election, said progress in Iraq's politics, economics and security lay behind the decision to scale back the combat troops.

"President (George W.) Bush has authorized an adjustment in U.S. combat brigades in Iraq from 17 to 15," Rumsfeld said, addressing U.S. troops at a military camp east of Falluja.

"This will include increases in the number of U.S. forces involved in transition teams, intelligence support, and logistics, to assist the Iraqi security forces in continuing to assume greater responsibility for the security of their country."

Who do you think they are listening to?

It couldn't possibly be themselves, could it? Rolling Eyes

Don't you have a clue why the Dumbs did what they did with all of the bitching?

Did you already forget that Murtha wanted the troups out "right away" and when the vote on that was taken, even he voted against it?

The troup numbers went up to get through these electionS and they were gonna go down after the electionS.

It is after the electionS.

If your memory isn't good enough to recall what Rumsfeld, Bush, Rice, Cheney and McCulum said not long ago, you could always search for thier speaches and see why the Dems jumped on board and made fools out of themselves. Rolling Eyes

You thinking that the Dems had something to do with something good over there was the plan. Looks like it worked on you, anyway! Laughing

Personally, I don't care who takes credit for it as long as it is done.

It would be convienient tho, if someone who tends to vote for Dems doesn't care who gets credit. This is why they are doing what they are doing.

I would prefer that the troups get the credit for being one of the few government employees who work themselves out of a job. Wink

I doubt Bush would be in such a hurry to lower the numbers if there was not a protest.

Because there is money to be made. The longer we stay, the more money defense contractors and others make.

The President is not on your timeline Anti War. You can not prove that he would not have began a pullout anyway. We are there to defend America, not to make money for corporations.
