It's official. The Iraq War has two sides...
Watching MSNBC commemorating our glorious invasion of Iraq.
It seems it was a debatable enterprise... no need to mention that the war was illegal and based on fraud.
The rescue of Jessica Lynch is somehow confusing... well, we don't know about the torture part, but she was a prisoner...
Actually, we DO know about the torture part. It was not real.
We also know that much of the Jessica Lynch story was a hoax—a story told to the journalists BY OUR MILITARY.
No need to mention the fact the military version at the time, credulously transcribed and broadcast by MSNBC and everyone else, was a complete fantasy.
A lot of things that somehow don't need to be mentioned.
