Behind TV Analysts, Pentagon’s Hidden Hand - New York Times


Behind TV Analysts, Pentagon’s Hidden Hand - New York Times

When it comes to blaming people for our war in Iraq, I never flinch at going right to the source: the American People. Simple. We knew we were being lied to. There were ample signs of this, and ample alternative views that could have prevented the debacle that we're in. So, shame on us if we try to blame others and not ourselves.

That said, it's interesting to learn just how the lies were manufactured. And this quite clear article is a good start for anyone interested in peeling back his/her psyche, and asking the tough questions about his/her worldview and biases: "What need was served me by the war." We all knew these war analysts weren't to be trusted, as they dished out the daily rations of "good news" in Iraq ... but we did anyway. At least ... you did.
