How the press failed on Iraq
A hard look back at the past five years -- with all its death and destruction and missteps -- reveals that the American media has been sleepwalking through the war.
By Greg Mitchell [2008-03-11]

  • Lessons learned

    The author Greg Mitchell asks, “Will the lessons be heeded?” Unfortunately the lessons have been heeded by those who would be kings. The current administration and FOB (Friends Of Bush) wannabes have learned from the past how to start a war and leave the cleanup to others. After all, is there a better way to stimulate profits?

    One of Woodrow Wilson’s propagandists, during the World War One effort against Germany, came up with the term “Freedom Cabbage” to rename sauerkraut. Does such boorishness and lameness of thought sound familiar?
