Well, you know, our government recently admitted that they had a huge budget for disinformation in Iraq.

I wonder how much they spent on this?

Did you find something untrue or did you just dismiss out of hand?

I did watch it, labrat. I will keep it in mind, but at this point, I think it is disinformation. Our tax dollars at work.

Did you take a look at this:

Labrat, Do I need to download something to watch these. I don't have everything set up on this computer yet. I would like to see this.

No thanks, no interest.

Labrat...

I'm not sure if I answered your question well enough. I think it's disinformation.. one, because our government recently told us that they had a big budget for such activities. Two, if you look back at UN docs and other globalization docs, us invading Iraq, fits right into the plan. So do all the trade agreements... NAFTA, GATT, CAFTA, FTAA. We are being "harmonized" into a "New World Order". In their own words.

Softball, sorry, I don't know. I didn't on this computer, just click an wait. Seems if a lot of folks are on it, it's slow. That's all I know.

It's a company who admits they're in the business of "disinformation" and are used by a variety of governments and military. It's quite interesting.

SBM... I tried it again and mine is playing in Windows Media Player. You should have that installed by default on your computer. So, I'm not sure why you're unable to play it.

That's exactly the problem here.

This addresses much of what was posted today that paints Iraq outcomes as favorable..
I'd like to discuss both perspectives.

The interview is with an Iraqi novelist, former prisoner under Saddam.

The interview is her speaking.

So what?
 
Posted by Mo (Member # 2863) on :
 
So that is not propaganda. It is an Iraqi perspective.

Where do you get that perspective, Tony? What "disinformation" by the Iraqi media? They are all mysteriously being murdered. How are you SO SURE that we are not putting out disinformation?

OK mo, if you say so, you've never tried to lead me astray before! Oh say, what collage was that history professor from that said if it wasn't for the demonstrations, Reagan would have really messed up the world?

What are you talking about, Labrat?
 
Posted by LabRat (Member # 78) on :
 
Sorry T, that was for mo. I edited but you were too quick!

Because I have a friend over there in the seabees...ya know...reconstructing stuff...

Ya think?
