Bush: Deceit and Propaganda

As long as G.W. Bush continues to use Propaganda ploys against the American people I will continue to point out how he is using it.
Besides argumentative fallacies, such as argumentum ad populum, argumentum ad hominem etc., there are Propaganda ploys, such as name calling, glittering generalities, transfer, testimonial, card stacking, plain folks, bandwagon, and missing information, which appeal to emotion rather than reason and inhibit people's thought processes.
Our presence in Iraq is the result of a vigorous propaganda program prior to it's invasion. If anyone were to take a poll of our military today the majority would say that they are fighting in Iraq because of the attack on the twin towers on 9/11. That Saddam Hussein was behind the attack etc. No such link exists but G.W. and Cheney cleverly spoke about the attack of 9/11 and Iraq in one breath in a ploy called juxtaposition; where two dissimilar instances are spoken of together to give an impression that there is a link between the two. Cheney further linked Iraq to terrorism in general because a terrorist, Al Natal, hid out in Baghdad. What Cheney failed to reveal is that Saddam had his secret police assassinate the terrorist as soon as he knew of the terrorist's presence. This is called the "missing information" ploy.
G.W. loves to use "glittering generalities"; which are virtue words, such as freedom, liberty, American people, etc. He loads his speeches with them and uses them repeatedly. He also uses the ploy, "name calling'', which is the opposite of "glittering generalities". "Liberals", taxes, murderers, "social medicine, Saddam, Osama, etc. are bad virtue words in his propaganda arsenal. We know who the bad guys and good guys are from his speeches, and which side we want to be on.
General David Petraeus is a man above reproach, a hero, Bush's man. No one could possibly question his integrity; except the Liberals. Never mind Bush gave him his fourth star at the time he was given military command of Iraq. General Petraeus is an example of the transfer symbol ploy combined with the testimonial ploy. Question Bush's strategy and you have to answer to General Petraeus, the "commander on the ground", the man above reproach who would testify against his own results and at the same time undermine his commander in chief's legacy? Not out loud anyway. Pour enough money and men into a project and you will have better success than if you did not but what is the price for success ultimately. No one is saying.
Plain folks is another ploy that G.W. loves to use. Effusive "thank yous", back drops of Boy Scouts, old veterans, new recruits, town's folks, Texas drawl, lame jokes, cutting brush on the ranch; all are a part of the plain folks ploy. You never see him in a hostile crowd or situation. He has a "ranch" yet you never see him on a horse punching cows.
Card stacking is another ploy which emphasizes favorable attributes and ignores unfavorable attributes. Not revealing details about wire-tapping, water-boarding, energy policy experts, his Air Guard record, Harken, etc. is card stacking.
What I am hoping is that the media will do their job and point out the ploys that G.W. and his administration continue to use against the American people and by their efforts future Presidents will not resort to such ploys in their efforts to promote agendas. Resorting to such ploys destroys a Democracy and promotes despotism.
