I suppose it's not a surprise that the media used Pentagon spokesmen as their "military analysts" during the run up to, and post Iraq invasion.

The media passed them off as "independent analysts", when in fact they were working for the Pentagon. The Pentagon got caught.. and..

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The Pentagon has suspended a public affairs program that has come under fire for using retired military "media analysts" as surrogates to get out its messages on the Iraq war, a spokesman confirmed Monday.

Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said the program was undergoing an internal review following criticism that the retired officers offered Pentagon talking points as their own during the run-up to the Iraq invasion and thereafter.
...
He said the Pentagon also interacted with bloggers, corporate leaders and education leaders as part of the effort to reach out to the public.
I like that, "reach out". LOL

They were willfully misleading the media in order to push the Bush narrative on the war. It's pretty simple actually. It's what we call "propaganda".

And now it's all fucked up. Go figure.

Hey.. I know.. we need another "orange alert".. or whatever the fuck colors they were using. Remember the summer before the '04 election, that fucking thing was going up and down more than a drunken Paris Hilton..

Duct Tape!!!!!

Islamofacaterraistas in the streets!!!
