Troops understand the lies. This is from an article on AOL: |

http://news.aol.com/topnews/articles/_a/iraqi-government-executes-former/20061229140609990001U.S. troops cheered as news of Saddam's execution appeared on television at the mess hall at Forward Operating Base Loyalty in eastern Baghdad. But some soldiers expressed doubt that Saddam's death would be a significant turning point for Iraq.
"First it was weapons of mass destruction. Then when there were none, it was that we had to find Saddam. We did that, but then it was that we had to put him on trial," said Spc. Thomas Sheck, 25, who is on his second tour in Iraq. "So now, what will be the next story they tell us to keep us over here?" < emphasis added>

Why? We got rid of Saddam, dead and buried. We've been there for three years.

propaganda of the troop -supporting(!) US Administration.
It was hilarious to read - what seems ages ago now - that when an officer prompted them, "You know why we're over here fighting, don't you?" Without missing a beat, as one, they hurled, "OIL!!!!" Not the answer that the officer wanted to hear.
