Propaganda of Afghanistan War Escalates to Convince Americans We’re Turning the Corner:
The United States has been using FALSE news stories to convince the world and the American population that the U.S. troops are “making progress” in Afghanistan. Geo. Bush’s administration got caught puttin out false war stories in 2008, and now President Obama’s administration is carrying out the same DECEPTION. Today’s post is a full copy of this damaging information. A special thanks to Peace Perspectives, put out by votersforpeace.org for sending this story out to its readers. Subscribe here.

Our friends over at Just Foreign Policy have put together an easy way for all of us to support Congress Member Dennis Kucinich End the War. Follow this link: Help Kucinich Use War Powers Act to Force Afghanistan Debate UPDATE: HOUSE VOTES 65 Yes 356 NO on End the War Resolution H. 248. 60 Democrats and 5 Republicans voted YES. THANK YOU DENNIS KUCINICH FOR BRINGING THIS TO THE FLOOR. View how they voted here.

“The Washington Post reported Feb. 22 that the decision to launch the offensive against Marja was intended largely to impress U.S. public opinion with the effectiveness of the U.S. military in Afghanistan by showing that it could achieve a ‘large and loud victory.’

“The false impression that Marja was a significant city was an essential part of that message.”

1. Has anyone defined what the end game is in either Iraq or Afghanistan yet?
What I want to know is what does a win look like anyway?

4.  I8 months and out of Iraq. A stable Afghanistan, then we're gone.
That's what I've heard. Like all political statements we can only pray they will be true.

5. we are leaving over 60,000 troops in iraq to secure the oil fields
that includes mercenaries we will be paying hundreds of thousands of dollars

and rest assured we will be leaving mercs and troops in afghanistan..we have a huge permanent embassy being built in iraq and will probably have one in afghanistan, we own karzai he is our american policy puppet just like the shah of Iran was,

this whole thing is a corporate scam to secure resources for huge multinational corporations in both countries

and no one will ever be convicted of war crimes for us illegally occupying countries and taking over and murdering their people

7. thats whats happening now
we have an embassy in Iraq the size of 7 football fields.

and not ONE person has been investigated or prosecuted for pre emptively attacking another country with no provocation based on lies.
and now we are in another country for NO reason whatsoever.

except to secure oil fields and stabilize it for profitable oil pipelines.

WE are the bad guys. The USA is the bad guy NOT the good guy.
