[Grovenet] America's Propaganda Quagmire

[Eric Canon]

I remember pre-9/11, when the "appeasing" Clinton
folks tried to warn the Bushies to look out for
Al Quida and were dismissed with disdain. The
Bushies were focused on their own "better idea"
agenda of using American might to impose our will
on the rest of the world. I mean, "why not?" they
said. We ARE that tough, and why not step over
all the quibbling "others" of the world and do
the job? They ignored the warnings from the
Clinton Administration and plotted how to attack
Iraq, Iran, Syria and Korea as they thumbed their
nose at the UN and working with others who live
on this planet. Who needs them?

Now, ever revisionist in their thinking, they
blame the Clinton's for their own lack of
attention and focus. Wow!

ABC comes up with a dramatized fictional account
of something that did not happen, and Steven
calls the resulting outcry "censorship". I mean,
why can't ABC produce this lie and present it
like it really happened? Censorship!

Why does this not surprise me? I don't get it.
Steven is seldom logical, and he's almost never
very concerned with facts, or sources, or the
law, or the constitution. I am not surprised by
how he sees this. Just don't ask me to explain
it.
