No WMD; no involvement in 9/11; but lot’s of hypocrisy….



What should turn people’s stomachs is that the White House does not seem to
know the boundaries of good taste and honesty when it comes to the promotion
of its War De Jour the war that never had to be. To add insult to injury,
they perpetuate the idea of an Iraq that we hope to save for democracy. And in
the process, we perpetuate the lies and the misstatements that never seem to
go away. In fact, this war could stand as a study in the power of words to
create the environment for War when there was no justification. More so, in
viewing the ads that are popping up all over the screen, it is clear that the
liars will not be through until they have had their way with our democracy and
turned the world into chaos. That a few men could wield this power in a
democracy stretches the boundaries of our credulity and it is a lesson to free
men. It is a call to action that we cannot ignore .and still call ourselves a “
free” society.
The rich right, the military industrial establishment who stand to benefit
most from war and others who elevate aggression and call it patriotism have
put up fifteen million dollars plus to run advertising to support the “noble
goals of the War.”
In other words, they are saying not to turn your back on all those troops
who have given their lives for the sake of the War. They use death and
disfigurement as a way to gaim support for the war. And it is ugly and motivated
and runs counter to anyone who knows that this war was going to happen whether
or not there was a legitimate cause—which we now know never existed.
It is time to make clear that these are ads sponsored by the cabal who was
responsible for the war in the first place. And put together by Tony Snow’s
predecessor as press secretary. To use death and the depravity of war to gain
support for a war that was never justified is nothing but shameless, to use
it for political reasons, is offensive to anyone who can think.
Nevertheless, the public in all its naivety, is starting to believe what
these ads represent and there is no counterpunch provided by the democrats to
identify precisely what the Republicans are doing to perpetuate this canard.
It is time for the democratic leadership committee to bring in honest people
who are respected figures in our society to come forward and speak their
minds to counter such dreadful use of propaganda.
If we don’t step up to the plate now, when will we?
The parallels with the Nazis use of propaganda for their own ends is too
clear!
