Choreographed Victory, Dishonorable War
by Len Hart | May 24 2007


If you are an American, you have to go abroad to learn the truth about America, about Bush's war of aggression against Iraq, about the nature of a failed and illegitimate regime. The truth that you will not learn in the American media is that Bush's tar baby war is lost, though Bush still talks of winning.

That is done to divide his domestic opposition. Who would wish to be perceived as favoring defeat? It's a despicable tactic and only a failed party or a failed regime would resort to it.

The litmus test is al Qaeda. The fact that al Qaeda has become active in Iraq but only after the US attack and invasion is evidence of the US de facto loss. Violence has begotten violence. Terrorists" have been made stronger. Al Qaeda has even penetrated the "safe" Green Zone.

There is a price to be paid for waging vainglorious war and losing. Monies blown up fighting phantoms and civilians in Baghdad is money that might have been spent improving education in a nation whose President perpetrated an Education hoax called the "Houston Miracle".

It's time to make a point about the liars at the Fox Network. According to Fox, things are just hunky dory in Iraq.

I believe Bill Moyers on this issue. I cannot believe Fox, busted recently for "leaked" memos revealing how that network deliberately slants and, perhaps, makes up the news. I wouldn't bet on Native Dancer if the tip came from Fox. Fortunately, Fox can be summed up in a single word. Bullshit!

1. The talking heads conveniently deemphasize the after we attacked part
They mention the report about 2005 but they don't really go into any details that al Qaeda wasn't there before 2005.
I had to point that out to my wife last night that Saddam wouldn't tolerate them there and we (the US) are responsible for allowing them into the country.
