Seems to me they are learning the proper way to run a government......too many people, too many offices, none can make a decision.......the art of politics is the ability to bring people together. Hope they get the act together. Maybe we could bring of them over here and tie them up to our politicians by the leg like they do in the Sack Races at a State Fair and show em how its done, they will get the picture

This just might be the kind of mis-information it's been said that we can expect. It may just be business as usual in Iraq. Time will tell.

Good post. I like how you've put these all together. It does a great job illustrating the contridictions and confussion we're all experiencing at this time.

Crazy!!!

Propaganda

This article is about the form of communication. For other uses, see Propaganda (disambiguation).

As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda, in its most basic sense, presents information primarily to influence an audience. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus possibly lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or uses loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the attitude toward the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda. Propaganda can be used as a form of political warfare.

While the term propaganda has acquired a strongly negative connotation by association with its most manipulative and jingoistic examples, propaganda in its original sense was neutral, and could refer to uses that were generally benign or innocuous, such as public health recommendations, signs encouraging citizens to participate in a census or election, or messages encouraging persons to report crimes to the police, among others.

Great post, aanth. Very illustrative of the variety of opinion in Iraq. IMO, NONE of it is factual. All the parties are maneuvering for final advantage on the security ministries vote. Looks a lot like the US Congress, doesn't it? :0)
