No, it's the lies and manipulation that make me sick. Lies to go to war. And- how many US troops were killed under the Clinton administration? 5? 10? any? The number was very small. We had peace and prosperity then. Now, over 1600 US dead, 10,000 plus wounded, many severely. Over 20,000 Iraqi civilians killed by a war we started preemptively. Not pretty - nothing to be proud of.

Yo-Yoo c-span.org sandinovive.org PREFACE Guerrilla warfare is essentially a political war. Therefore, its area of operations exceeds the territorial limits of conventional warfare, to penetrate the political entity itself: the "political animal" that Aristotle defined. In effect,the human being should be considered the priority objective in a political war. And conceived as the military target of guerrilla war, the human being has his most critical point in his mind. Once his mind has been reached, the"political animal" has been defeated, without necessarily receiving bullets. Guerrilla warfare is born and grows in the political environment; in the constant combat to dominate that area of political mentality that is inherent to all human beings and which collectively constitutes the "environment" in which guerrilla warfare move s, and which is where precisely its victory or failure is defined. This conception of guerrilla warfare as political war turns Psychological Operations into the decisive factor of the results. The target, then, is the minds of the population, all the population: our troops, the enemy troops and the civilian population. This book is a manual for the training of guerrillas in psychological operations, and its application to the concrete case of the Christian and democratic crusade being waged in Nicaragua by the Freedom Commandos. Welcome! --- This is a manual for the training of terrorists in psycological operations. It is described as to be applied to the concrete case of the 'christian' and 'democratic crusade' waged against Nicaragua by the Contras. This document is also another link between the crimes commited by the Contras and the US goverment's policy of sponsoring terror and war crimes against Nicaragua; hence it ultimately points the finger of responsability to the heads of the Contra and the US administration and policymakers of Reagan and Bush I era for the death of more than 38,000 men, women and children, and for the destruction of the physical infrastructure of Nicaragua that still hampers the economic development of that unfortunate country
