Without going into detail about the
Gulf of Tonkin incident, America has mislead its people onto the warpath throughout it's history. Another deliberate deception to urge Americans to accept the first Iraqi war under the first Bush administration was in the guise of a tearful fifteen year old girl. According to her now known to be false testimony before a Congressional hearing, Iraqi invaders were murdering infants in Kuwaiti nursuries by flinging them out of their incubators. Reporting for PR Watch,
John Stauber, author of the newly released
Weapons of Mass Deception writes "..that this testimony, which helped precipitate the first U.S. decision to go to war against Iraq, was the creation of the Hill & Knowlton PR firm, and the American people were duped into thinking that Saddam was a baby killer."
Aside from the lies about the purchase of Niger uranium, a host of other mendacious statements from the Bush administration have also gotten some press lately. Not the least of which is Bush's May 1, 2003 claim that the Iraqi war was then largely over. Now Soldiers are dying every day in what Bush's own Generals describe as a guerrilla war. In the mean time, There is much more deciet by the Bush administration coming to light.
Meanwhile Bush's fundraising efforts are met with protestors everywhere the pResident goes. The media watch dog group, Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting has issued this media advisory on the subject.
The green party has issued a statement calling for Bush's impeachment and the return of our soldiers by the winter holidays.
Vote To Impeach has been calling for the ousting or censure of the pResident since long before the press and pundits have begun officailly recognizing george's duplicities.
