Wow. I put in an opinion on Iraq and nobody argues. There must be no one reading. Okay, here's another.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House and a senior Republican lawmaker expressed concern on Thursday about secret military payments to get Iraqi newspapers to print pro-American articles, but the military said it was important to spread the truth while insurgents were "lying to the Iraqi people."
U.S. troops in an "information operations" task force have written articles with positive messages about the U.S. mission in Iraq that have been translated from English into Arabic and planted in Iraqi newspapers in return for money, according to defense officials speaking on condition of anonymity.

Okay, folks, it's called propaganda, and it has existed since war existed. And for the party that actually started us in World War Two, Korea, and Vietnam to suddenly look indignant seems just a bit..... retarded. It's like Claude Rains in "Casablanca" saying "I'm shocked, shocked to find out that gambling is going on here!" just as someone hands him his winnings. You know, don't act like you've never done it.
Oh, and John Warner agreed with you and was just as indignant. Well, you can have him.
