[Grovenet] America's Propaganda Quagmire

[allnutt]

So true.
But the good news is that reality eventually starts blinking like a neon 
sign.
When bush mentions how bad bin Laden is 12 times in a non political speech 
people begin to wonder why bin Laden is a free man today.
When bush keeps saying our allies are working with us to help fight 
terrorism and we won't be friendly to those who harbor terrorists people 
start to wonder why the deafening silence on what happened over Waziristan 
this weekend.

The only good thing about the propaganda quagmires is that if you are knee 
deep in the stuff, it does harden and you can eventually walk out of it.
