Subject: BS: Bush Iraq Propaganda Campaign

Well, I'd say the other thread might possibly be long enough and this issue had nothing to do with it anyway.

However, Teribus and any other giant intellect on that side, let's try to keep this simple, so you might be capable of answering it directly--you still haven't done so.

Exactly why is the statement "Before September the 11th, many in the world believed Saddam Hussein could be contained." not propaganda linking Saddam and 11 September 2001"?

The real question is, can Bush be contained? Before September 11th there was some hope he could be. Afterward....a different story. Containment of this administration's aggressive and illegal policies has thus far proven impossible. Many lives have been lost or damaged as a result, and many more are yet to come.

Whenever I see Bush on TV, regardless of what he's wearing, he always seems to me to be on the verge of bursting into a high-pitched giggle. He seems to be only just able to hold it in. I wait for him to lose it, but he never does. Not yet at least.

Bush Presses Editors on Security by Howard Kurtz

President Bush has been summoning newspaper editors lately in an effort to prevent publication of stories he considers damaging to national security. The efforts have failed, but the rare White House sessions with the executive editors of The Washington Post and New York Times are an indication of how seriously the president takes the recent reporting that has raised questions about the administration's anti-terror tactics. Leonard Downie Jr., The Post's executive editor, would not confirm the meeting with Bush before publishing reporter Dana Priest's Nov. 2 article disclosing the existence of secret CIA prisons in Eastern Europe used to interrogate terror suspects. Bill Keller, executive editor of the Times, would not confirm that he, publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. and Washington bureau chief Philip Taubman had an Oval Office sit-down with the president on Dec. 5, 11 days before reporters James Risen and Eric Lichtblau revealed that Bush had authorized eavesdropping on Americans and others within the United States without court orders.

But the meetings were confirmed by sources who have been briefed on them but are not authorized to comment because both sides had agreed to keep the sessions off the record. The White House had no comment.
"When senior administration officials raised national security questions about details in Dana's story during her reporting, at their request we met with them on more than one occasion," Downie says. "The meetings were off the record for the purpose of discussing national security issues in her story." At least one of the meetings involved John Negroponte, the director of national intelligence, and CIA Director Porter Goss, the sources said.

"This was a matter of concern for intelligence officials, and they sought to address their concerns," an intelligence official said. Some liberals criticized The Post for withholding the location of the prisons at the administration's request. After Bush's meeting with the Times executives, first reported by Newsweek's Jonathan Alter, the president assailed the paper's piece on domestic spying, calling the leak of classified information "shameful." Some liberals, meanwhile, attacked the paper for holding the story for more than a year after earlier meetings with administration officials.

The admission by two columnists that they accepted payments from indicted Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff may be the tip of a large and rather dirty iceberg. Copley News Service last week dropped Doug Bandow -- who also resigned as a Cato Institute scholar -- after he acknowledged taking as much as $2,000 a pop from Abramoff for up to two dozen columns favorable to the lobbyist's clients. "I am fully responsible and I won't play victim," Bandow said in a statement after Business Week broke the story. "Obviously, I regret stupidly calling to question my record of activism and writing that extends over 20 years. . . . For that I deeply apologize."

Peter Ferrara of the Institute for Policy Innovation has acknowledged taking payments years ago from a half-dozen lobbyists, including Abramoff. Two of his papers, the Washington Times and Manchester (N.H.) Union Leader, have now dropped him. But Ferrara is unapologetic, saying: "There is nothing unethical about taking money from someone and writing an article."

Readers might disagree on grounds that they have no way of knowing about such undisclosed payments, which seem to be an increasingly common tactic for companies trying to influence public debate through ostensibly neutral third parties. When he was a Washington lawyer several years ago, says law professor Glenn Reynolds, a telecommunications carrier offered him a fat paycheck -- up to $20,000, he believes -- to write an opinion piece favorable to its position. He declined.

Jonathan Adler, an associate law professor and National Review contributor, wrote that when he worked at a think tank, "I was offered cash payments to write op-eds on particular topics by PR firms, lobbyists or corporations several times. They offered $1,000 or more for an op-ed," offers that Adler rejected. Blogger Rand Simberg writes that "I've also declined offers of money to write specific pieces, even though I agreed with the sentiment."

Two years ago, former Michigan senator Don Riegle wrote an op-ed attacking Visa and MasterCard without disclosing that his PR firm was representing Wal-Mart -- which was suing the two credit card companies.

1)   Sounds like you'll have to join Teribus at your local library to learn about propaganda.

Again: Exactly why is "Before September the 11th, many in the world believed Saddam Hussein could be contained." not propaganda linking Saddam and 11 Sept 2001?

I'm still waiting patiently for your answer, hoping (vainly?) that you have the brainpower to formulate one--that actually answers the question.

2) Jesse Jackson is an opponent of the Iraq war. I'm fine being with him. It's fascinating that your entire list is black. You wouldn't have a little racist tinge, now would you? If so, you're cordially invited to leave Mudcat. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

3) Interesting that Bush never quite found the time to use those wonderful piloting skills you're convinced he has--use them in Vietnam--though the vast majority of his fellow piloting students did. But he did find time for the important national security mission of helping his chosen candidates.

Can you spell H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-S-Y?

Ron is very good at quotings bits of things, mainly because by doing so it helps his agruement. Here is a fuller quotation to the one with which he opened this thread:

It is taken from the President's 2003 State of the Union Address

"Before September the 11th, many in the world believed that Saddam Hussein could be contained. But chemical agents, lethal viruses and shadowy terrorist networks are not easily contained.

IMAGINE (referring to something that may happen in the future) those 19 hijackers with other weapons and other plans, THIS TIME (referring to something that may happen in the future) armed by Saddam Hussein. It would take one vial, one canister, one crate slipped into this country to bring a day of horror like none we have ever known.

We will do everything in our power to make sure that that day never comes.

Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent. Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike?

If this threat is permitted to fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words and all recriminations would come too late. Trusting in the sanity and restraint of Saddam Hussein is not a strategy, and it is not an option."

Now back that up with what the President said in his 2002 State of the Union Address regarding the two stage plan in his war against terror:
First - We will strike against the terrorist organisations
Second - We will strike against the regimes that could support those terrorist organisations.

The "Propanda Campaign" that Ron talks about does not and never has existed outside of his own imagination - it really has been "The Propaganda Campaign that Never Was".

MR. ESKEW : Yes.

       Q Yeah, my name is Eva Schweitzer. I work for a German daily called Die Berliner Zeitung.

       My question is about one year from now, an office made headlines in Germany, and I think all over the world, but isn't that the office of disinformation? I actually forgot the real name. And it was supposed to put out stories which might be right or not in favor of the American government. So, it is not completely clear if this office is still existing or not. And my question is, is the Office of Global Communications this very same office in another name and another leadership? Thanks.

       MR. ESKEW: Thank you, Ms. Schweitzer for that question, and I appreciate the opportunity to address it, very directly.

       I'll point out that here in Washington we have copies of the executive order, and they're also available on the White House website, in which the president notes that our office assists in the development of communications programs that disseminate truthful, accurate and effective messages about the American people and their government. Let me be very blunt. We're in the business of working with you to provide the facts, provide stories that are accurate and reflect something true about the intent of our government and our people.

       The office in question was not created -- that story was based on speculation, and the White House spoke quickly after the publication of that story to indicate that the president's desire was to have a new office, our office, to coordinate these truthful and accurate messages.

       We -- we're going to deal with overt information. We're going to deal with reporters. We're going to deal with our embassies, and the interaction they carry out with reporters and other public groups around the world in a way that is true to the president's executive order. We'll abide by that very carefully.

       Thank you.

RD "many in the world" How many? How many did not? You claim there are many and ask me to explain why. There were not many. There were many more that did not think Saddam could be contained.

Yes Kerry went to Vietnam with a camera and a JFK complex. There he claimed purple hearts dishonestly so he could get the hell back home, out of harms way and try to use them to build his career. A cheap trick. Did he ever release all of his military records?

Bush was a fighter pilot and his unit could have been called up to go to Vietnam but it did not. His daddy didn't pull any strings and the Democrats popaganda campaingn to prove he was a deserter fell on it's ass when it was revealed that the document was forged.

Should he have retrained to land a S-3B Viking on an aircraft carrier to satisfy a few crybabies or is he too busy?

I will answer this one again: Bush did not conduct a propaganda campaign linking Saddam with 9/11. You can repaet your charge a million times iof you want. You have to prove he did rather than me having to prove he did not.

You can call me racist if you want. What do I care? I am allowed to think what ever I want of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. It is your idea to make a connection between anti war and race in order to find shelter for your ass backward opinions created by you personal dislike for George Bush. Is it because he is white? Are you a racist?

Bobert: What do you know about my genes? Are you one of those WV inbreds and therefore suspicious of others? Why do you continue to persue your personal assault against Bush?

The useless "Wes Ginny Slide Rule" couldn't calquelate how many Thermonuclear devices (bombs) could be made from the 1.77 metric tons of partially enriched uranium found in Iraq.

Your current Modus Operandi (MO) consists of thinking up funny names for those that have opposing opinions in order to discredit them. Facts work better than sarcasm.

You are right, GUEST. So while we're on the subject, perhaps you could answer this: '"The useless "Wes Ginny Slide Rule" couldn't calquelate how many Thermonuclear devices (bombs) could be made from the 1.77 metric tons of partially enriched uranium found in Iraq."' Let us know when you figure it out.

Peace: "If you believe YOUR facts so much, why do you post as GUEST?"

I thought I was responding to you and still you make maokery of it. That is the limits of your abilities.

The answer is more than one but you will find fault with that answer regardless, that is your mission, to find fault.

The point was that your son, Bobert, refused to acknowledge that the uranium was found in Iraq. All he can do is think up more Bobertisims, funny stuff, sarcasm and distorting other people's names.

Who is he convincing? Bush's number keep going up no matter how hard he tries.
