Are you stupefied yet? Are you waving your flag? “If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.” A. Lincoln 1865 lurqer

we are so far winning the military war, losing PR war as we occupy Iraqi lands, oversee their vast oil fields, we give off every appearance of an occupying army as we unseat Saddam and paralyze his regime, we also destroy their beautiful capital city as we meet the needs for water & food, we look good but we are seen as meeting a need which we created by our very presence and attacks Arab nations are slowly erupting while we pat ourselves on the back for decimating the Iraqi military, which has no airforce, no longer benefits from radar installations, and has great trouble with communications... let's not forget that Arab television networks are showing scores of wounded and killed women, children, and unarmed men from our bombings welcome to the digital warfare world there is a second war out there, and we are losing badly it has nothing to do with military objectives just yesterday I heard an interview of an expert who claimed that USForces will soon be forced to tolerate much higher civilian casualties... IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE OUR MILITARY OBJECTIVES we care much less about PR among Arab neighbors an Arab woman in London reported from her news bureau that Arab people point to hypocrisy Israel owns weapons of mass destruction, nuclear weapons, and chemical weapons but that is ok we continue the delusion we believe after we secure Iraq's nation from Saddam, that its citizens will love us they wont they will point to the destruction, demand we give back their oil fields, ask us to leave their military bases, and demand we leave their country we will help with repairing oil fields, provided we never leave them, and are gauranteed oil purchases we will help repair their country's buildings, provided they permit a US puppet leader we will never leave their airbases or military bases, never we will justify it as securing stability to the region after all, that was a primary objective of the war / jim
