wasting our money on propaganda

Original Iraq War Propagandist Ari Fleischer Returns To Flack For Bush’s Escalation

Beginning today, Freedom’s Watch, a new right-wing front group for the White House, “will unveil a month-long, $15 million television, radio and grass-roots campaign” to pressure Congress to continue supporting President Bush’s disastrous Iraq strategy. The group, which is “funded by high-profile Republicans who were aides and supporters of President Bush,” is headed by a familiar face from the Bush war effort: former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer.

The privately-funded ad campaign will run in 20 states, featuring Iraq war vets and families of fallen soldiers arguing that the war should continue. The four ads produced so far by Fleischer’s Freedom’s Watch group contain little more than fear-mongering about an Iraq pullout. “They attacked us and they will again. They won’t stop in Iraq,” one ad says. “It will mean more attacks in America,” says another. Yet another ad warns, “We’ve already had one 9/11, we don’t need another.”

How long are they going to continue to try to link Iraq with 9/11?! This is way past being absurd!
And why are they wasting our money with propaganda ads instead of trying to cure the problems they've created in Iraq?

(Actually, reading this again, it does not look like it is our tax money they are using, though i wouldn't put it past them...)

See the ads here - every one is linking Iraq to 9/11! Wow! I am amazed every day that they truly, honestly believe that every American is a complete moron who doesn't realize that Iraq had nothing whatsoever to do with 9/11. I am so sick of having my intelligence insulted by these cretins...
