Veterans Day Messages from Troops In Iraq, Filmed By Defense Dept., Feature Replica of Twin Towers

After months of studied ambiguity, President Bush finally admitted that Iraq had “nothing” to do with the attack on the World Trade Center. The Defense Department, however, appears determined to perpetuate the myth.

Today, the administration released veterans day messages from troops in Iraq. These “taped messages from the U.S. Defense Department” featured a replica of the twin towers in the background. Here’s a screen shot:



Watch two of the messages, as aired on CNN, here.

2. I think I'm going to vomit.

What a despicably low thing to do.

3. Totally unacceptable

Pure propaganda.

If those soldiers were in Afganistan I wouldn't have a "issue" with the backdrop.
Those noble men and women are there for a reason.

There is no reason for Iraq...except for bush besting his daddy.

7. Soldiers are not lemmings.

8. Troops need to believe it's just

And the Pentagon is not above feeding that myth.

The troops have to be there. But with all the difficult things they can't control right now(problems back home, the politics of it all, etc.)they have to find a mindset that makes this misadventure worth giving their life, if need be.

This is one reason I don't take too seriously those troops who defend this war as if the terrorists were on our very shores.

But when they are back, and given time, and they can seperate things, many of them will seperate the fact and fiction.

Of course--that bit of propaganda is certainly for the American public too.
