Waving the Wand of Propaganda

Quick, where are my rose colored glasses?


The obvious propaganda piece in the NY Times by a couple of Bush fellow travelers is almost amusing in its efforts to provide a basis for continuing the conflict or providing a fork in the road so "W" can declare (now this is tricky to find an uncontaminated word to use) "success" - thus perhaps retaining some slim chance that the remainder of Republicans that haven't abandoned ship yet will stay aboard for whatever orchestrated finale the architect can design.

Pollack and O'Hanlon apparently could not take the time and effort to interview masses of Iraqis that have talked with their feet. I am sure it would be easy to find quite a few of the two or so million that have fled to Jordan, Syria, etc. - notice there is no mention or comment about any observed return of this group of refugees who must be monitoring whether or not they can safely end their exile under conditions where most cannot obtain work in the countries to where they have fled.


When the news get flooded with incidents of that type, then perhaps I could yield a crumb of credibility but not before.
