So why does this thread contain propaganda from the NYT?

It is said that the NYT publishes the opinions of its "reporters" as if it is the truth. Do opinions take precedence to facts?

As for fear mongering, do you remember all of the articles that they published about how the Bush administration was recklessly ignoring all of the danger signals about WMD's in Iraq?

That was back when Chalabi was telling Congress, not the administration, exactly what they wanted to hear about Iraq in order to get money from congress.

Some people have very conveniently forgotten those facts in favor of popular opinions.
