He "marketed" the war in Iraq. All that was necessary was to "sell" it to the American people. And he didn't sell it as "bringing" democracy to Iraq. He knew that wouldn't sell. That came later. So he sold it as necessary to prevent a mushroom cloud and to find the weapons of mass destruction. The people gobbled it up like it was a new "pet rock".
So, when he needed to find a way to sell the "election" in Iraq, as the CEO, he went on TV to make a commercial with the GIs in Iraq. He saw nothing wrong with that. That's what CEOs do, right? Why should propaganda and marketing not be part of a free democracy? Why do you always want openness and truth in your advertising? "May cause headaches, drowisness, abdominal pains, and death. If you have any of these symtoms, see your doctor..."
