A surge of phony spin on Iraq
Bush's backers are peddling a sunny view of the president's strategy -- despite Iraq's political chaos and soaring death counts.
By Juan Cole [2007-08-07]

  • More effort has been put into PR than actual strategizing

    This war has been an Orwellian marketing scheme from the start. I guess more deaths = less violence. And I love how a newspaper could cite casuality projections like it's Enron banking on projected profits. Why does it feel like more effort is put into spin than in capturing Bin Laden? It's as if Bush could care less.

    This administration and its abuse of power never fails to disgust, but always fails to surprise in its deceit. It's appalling and tragic that so many have had to suffer because of this arrogant monarch we have for a president.

    Thank you again Salon for these articles! Please keep them coming-- this needs to be front and center in the nation's attention.
