Fox News Responds To Cheney Call For Iran Attack PR Blitz
Source: infowars.net

Following yesterday's revelation that Dick Cheney has ordered top Neo-Con media outlets to unleash a PR blitz to sell a war with Iran, Fox News has already responded with two prime time slots devoted to all out warmongering propaganda in favour of a strike on Iran's facilities.

The New Yorker magazine reported yesterday that Barnett Rubin, the highly respected Afghanistan expert at New York University, had a conversation with a member of a top neoconservative institution in Washington, who told him that "instructions" had been passed on from the Office of the Vice-President to roll out a campaign for war with Iran in the week after Labor Day.

Here it comes, we are about to see the Best of Monkey Bars skit for a few weeks now.

Does it even matter if the people oppose what the government is doing anymore?

1. In other news, Katie Couric has a really bad hair day.

Can't decide if it was helmet-head or hijab-head; she's reporting from Baghdad.

Frankly it distracted me from the good-news BS she was reading off the teleprompter.

4. This is a blogger, who heard from a friend, who spoke to someone in a neo-conservative institution..
From the original source (not yours):

But this apparently is just test marketing, like Cheney's 2002 speech. After all "from a marketing point of view, you don't introduce new products in August." Today I received a message from a friend who has excellent connections in Washington and whose information has often been prescient. According to this report, as in 2002, the rollout will start after Labor Day, with a big kickoff on September 11. My friend had spoken to someone in one of the leading neo-conservative institutions. He summarized what he was told this way:

Although I don't doubt it, THIS IS NOT LBN.
