Carol, here's a perfect example of how utterly clueless the masses are, that
they swallow Bush's words hook line and sinker. They vote for a pretty face
basically. Why didn't Dowd write something along these lines?
Here's an example of Bush's propaganda:
>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>The hollow world of George Bush
>The power of positive thinking is the president's shield from reality
>Sidney Blumenthal Thursday September 23, 2004 The Guardian
(cut)
>In his stump speech, which he repeats word for word across the
>country, Bush explains that he invaded Iraq because of "the lesson of
>eptember the 11th". WMD goes unmentioned; the only reason Bush offers
>is Saddam Hussein as an agent of terrorism. "He was a sworn enemy of
>the United States of America; he had ties to terrorist networks. Do
>you remember Abu Nidal? He's the guy that killed Leon Klinghoffer.
>Leon Klinghoffer was murdered because of his religion. Abu Nidal was
>in Baghdad, as was his organisation."
>
>The period of Leon Klinghoffer's murder in 1985 on the liner Achille
>Lauro (by Abu Abbas, in fact) coincided with the US courtship of
>Saddam, marked by the celebrated visits of then Middle East envoy
>Donald Rumsfeld. The US collaborated in intelligence exchanges and
>materially supported Saddam in his war with Iran, authorising the
>sale of biological agents for Saddam's laboratories, a
>diversification of his WMD capability
