U.S. Generals and Iraq propaganda

Everyone needs to keep in mind that our officer corps are part of the administration's propaganda arm. We are engaged in a war in Iraq that is the result of someone's brainchild. Someone had this great idea--establish a democracy in the Middle East and voila the dictators will roll over and play dead. Democracy solves all problems is the present argument--it replaces evil etc. Anyway back to the Generals; they are part of the propaganda machine--anything the military says is designed to keep the troops and the home folk bamboozled. The military gets all the toys they want if everyone is in lock-step behind the military and in this case also the administration. So when you hear a General or other high rank officer speak think propaganda.
