TIA--

Don't try Shakespeare on Dickey. WAY over his head.


Dickey--

The obduracy (look it up) of you and Teribus has just crossed the border into pigheaded stubbornness.

Over and over I have told you--Bush did try to link Saddam to 9-11. Not directly--he did not try to say Saddam caused the attacks--but he did try to link the two. Why is that so hard to understand? "Drawing links" does not equal "caused"---but it plants the seed. Even you should be able to grasp that--there aren't even any big words.

"Caused" would have been too blunt. That's not the way propaganda works. As Capt. Ginger and I have tried manfully to make you see. But "there's none so blind as...."

Drawing links is definitely the way propaganda works.

You obviously have not the slightest clue. Once again, your local library needs to see you.

Sounds like you would have been an easy mark for Goebbels.





"I prefer facts...."

Uh, only problem is:   you're dead wrong in your "facts".

I have told you --repeatedly--- that the propaganda campaign lasted from about summer 2002 to March 2003. Why? I've told you that before also--but, taking your reading problem into account yet again--here's the story.

Before summer 2002 the focus was on Osama and Afghanistan. After March 2003 the campaign was over--since the goal of persuading the US public-- to back Bush's war on Iraq-- had been achieved. The invasion had taken place.

So neither your September 2001 poll nor your August 2003 poll are germane. As I've explained before.

So your argument---as usual---fails.

Congratulations, you maintain your perfect record of failure.

Sleep well.
