$100 Million for propaganda to make the Iraqis and Afghans like us? |
|
< http://www.timesdispatch.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=RTD/MGArticle/RTD_BasicArticle&c=MGArticle&cid=1031783204555> That $100 million would be better spent on building schools, hospitals and roads. Can you imagine how much good that money could do? Instead, it will be split among three firms to put propaganda in print media, t-shirt giveaways, etc. Who the hell is making these decisions?

3. The sad thing is that the "savage Arabs" aren't as stupid and gullible... |

...as a typical American. The propaganda works better over here.

So it's perfectly compatible with the Bushista modus operandi.

6. The important part of the plan is transferring taxpayer money |
|
to *'s supporters, in this case, PR firms. Will they airdrop t-shirts the way they did the food packages? This is beyond surreal.
