I keep seeing the same tactics being used by the Democrats on everything.
They plant the seed or idea and everyone runs with it because it makes sense.
They did this to turn Iraqi freedom into lying about WMDs.
They also did this to turn defending this country from illegals and possible terrorist attacks into racism and discrimination. Cass Sustein's information cascade method was used to attain this.
Except the war was never about the Iraqi's freedom until after the failure to find WMDs occurred. If Bush truly cared about the Iraqi people, he would of gotten rid of the sanctions that killed 500,000 Iraqi children along with the weekly bombings by the U.S.
The UN instituted those sanctions...not the US.
The
Oil for Food program was dreamed up by Cliinton to help Iraqis make it through those sanctions but instead corruption allowed Saddam to use it to do whatever he wanted while his people suffered. Your narrow view shows me you really don't understand the reasons for the war and I'm not gonna go back and rehash ground that we've covered over and over again.
The point is you have no idea that most of what you believe about the war has been fed to you. Maybe you might want to read Bush's book so you can get a better idea what really went on. So many were turned against the war using
availability cascades and by constantly repeating to us who died every 15 mins. I haven't heard a report like that in a while yet soldiers here at Ft Campbell are dying every day. Nobody gives a darn about them anymore which seems to happen a lot when Democrats occupy the White House. The reasons for reporting combat deaths evaporate once we get a Democrat President. Democrats are kind, peaceful, and would never be confused with a reckless cowboy warmonger. Only a Republican would be like that.....even though Obama is assassinating Al Qaeda and Taliban members in Pakistan as we speak and continuing to use
Rendition even though he paid lip-service to it with an executive order.
