Re: That's because the administration was carefully dancing around the point. However, 7 out of 10 Americans believed that Saddam was linked to 9-11. I'd say that Bush got his message across very well. Oftentimes, the Bush propaganda was simply to use malignant liars and propagandists like the Fox News programmers to show images of OBL and Hussein in separate frames at the same time or sequentially. This associated the two enemies in the minds of the public, without one lie needing to be told to the credulous and naive public, who intuitively connected the images in their own minds. In the excellent book "Bush's Brain", Jim Moore describes how Karl Rove will oftentimes actually have several TV sets running the news networks and have the sound turned down on all of them. It is the visual impact that Rove understands creates the impressions that the American public takes away from the TV immersion and most relates to. It hardly matters to Rove what Bush says on TV, as long as he's projecting a strong, manly image to the camera. It turns out that most Americans get their news from TV, and most of what is on TV that is most remembered is the visual rather than audio message.
