3. This syncs up perfectly with the military caller on Randi's show yesterday
He was insistent that everything is just peachy in Iraq. It was a total catapulting of the BushCo propaganda. Domestic psyops are everywhere, and fortunately are still very easy to spot.

4. The General is spouting talking points from Rummy...

He knows better...
But these types of Generals in Vietnam routinely spouted the same type of misinformation...

<snip>
saying the number of confirmed major attacks on mosques across the country were only seven.
<snip>

Only seven century old religious symbols were destroyed in a country and continent that revered them.

This shows the arrogance and disrepect that the * Cabal and Rummy have shown the world.....

The destruction is a direct result of the US poorly run occupation....without the occupation these mosques would still be whole and untouched and 130 Iraqis and 15 American soldiars (today's count)would be alive.....

8. Was he quoted while having a drink at the officer's club?
Same kind of brass-bedecked moron that told us the "we won" the Tet Offensive.
