<<"The President has cheapened the entire intelligence community by dragging us into his fantasy world," says a longtime field operative of the Central Intelligence Agency.>> * * * * This is such a perfect example of spin replacing reality in the Bush administration. At this point it looks as if there is no aspect of our real, national, needs that Bushco is not addressing, simply through P.R. They seem to believe that spin can replace reality, not only in propaganda - but in physical reality. If they say it then it is true - regardless of facts, other's experience or anything that relates to physical reality at all... this is a total disconnect: The people have got to be feeling very queasy, as reality is shifting and moves with the needs of TPTB. Not a nice feeling... Katrina is over, everything's fine. Brownie is doing a great job. We are winning in Iraq. Deficits don't matter. Our economy is strong, America is great and we are the light of the world (even with mounting opposition all over the world). Hamas, a radical terrorist organization, is the outside edge and will not win the support of the people. Abramoff never really met with Bush. Cheney is a true leader, above reproach and would never undermine a CIA agent ... ugh... for [fantasy] political gains... The list of fantasy-reality is endless. They cannot tell reality from their own spin anymore. Is this not insanity? It looks that way to me... It looks like this is no longer political gamesmanship anymore. This looks sick. illyia
