50 false news stories put out by Bush propaganda machine.

[loudnclear]

" Colonel Sam Gardiner (USAF, Ret.) has identified 50 false news stories created and leaked by a secretive White House propaganda apparatus.
Bush administration officials are probably having second thoughts about their decision to play hardball with former US Ambassador Joseph Wilson. Joe Wilson is a contender. When you play hardball with Joe, you better be prepared to deal with some serious rebound."

2. A bigger excerpt

Wilson isn't waiting for George W. Bush to hand over the
perp. In mid-October, the former ambassador began
passing copies of an embarrassing internal report to
reporters across the US. The-Edge has received copies of
this document.

The 56-page investigation was assembled by USAF Colonel
(Ret.) Sam Gardiner. "Truth from These Podia: Summary of
a Study of Strategic Influence, Perception Management,
Strategic Information Warfare and Strategic Psychological
Operations in Gulf II" identifies more than 50 stories about the Iraq war that were faked by
government propaganda artists in a covert campaign to "market" the military invasion of Iraq.

Gardiner has credentials. He has taught at the National War College, the Air War College and
the Naval Warfare College and was a visiting scholar at the Swedish Defense College.

According to Gardiner, "It was not bad intelligence" that lead to the quagmire in Iraq, "It was an
orchestrated effort began before the war" that was designed to mislead the public and
the world. Gardiner's research lead him to conclude that the US and Britain had conspired at
the highest levels to plant "stories of strategic influence" that were known to be false.

7. An "underground army"

Would that be like a militia? What would you do with your "army"? Do you think it's a good idea to "recruit" on a public message board?

18. US News and World Report pdf files

A while back, the entire text of Gardiner's report was available for free in pdf format (5 separate files) from US News and World Report. It raised a flurry of posts on DU. I saved the link but when I just went back there I discovered the page is changed and you now have to pay for the reports. I know some DUers saved the pdf's to their hard drive.

4. Here's the short list

Gardiner's dogged research identified a long list of stories that passed through Rumsfeld's propaganda mill. According to Gardiner, "there were over 50 stories manufactured or at least engineered that distorted the picture of Gulf II for the American and British people." Those stories include:

The link between terrorism, Iraq and 9/11
Iraqi agents meeting with 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta
Iraq's possession of chemical and biological weapons.
Iraq's purchase of nuclear materials from Niger.
Saddam Hussein's development of nuclear weapons.
Aluminum tubes for nuclear weapons
The existence of Iraqi drones, WMD cluster bombs and Scud missiles.
Iraq's threat to target the US with cyber warfare attacks.
The rescue of Pvt. Jessica Lynch.
The surrender of a 5,000-man Iraqi brigade.
Iraq executing Coalition POWs.
Iraqi soldiers dressing in US and UK uniforms to commit atrocities.
The exact location of WMD facilities
WMDs moved to Syria.



Unfortunately, there is no mention of a blowjob or a dead white girl. The US media continues to tell us that their viewers are more interested in Lacy and Kobie. In the meantime, the US media continues to pretend that the furher is a great leader and that Iraq and Afghanistan are huge successes.

it just has some bad Cold Fusion code. The variable "#subSiteID#" doesn't exist anywhere. There's no default error page set up so you get that nasty looking error.
