Why the NERVE of those Iraqis!

Remember about a week ago, when the chickenhawks and their purveyors of propaganda, were predicting Iraqis would be running into the streets waving American flags, just overjoyed to see us?

They seem oddly silient now.

Indeed, most folks - now pay attention Washington - get real annoyed when their country is invaded, friends and family killed, and bombs start falling everywhere. Then they fight back like banshees.

Note to to the Bush Administration:
As Foghorn Leghorn says to the chickenhawk (how perfect!) in Warner Brothers cartoons, “Is any of this getting through, son”?

U.S propaganda a dismal flop

From DailyKos

“The US is really starting to lose the propaganda war, as everything it says turns out to be lies.

Witness:

    * Saddam is dead! Ok, no he’s not.
    * Iraq fired a Scud at Kuwait! Ok, no it wasn’t.
    * Umm Qasr is taken! Ok, no it’s not.
    * The Iraqi 51st Division surrendered en masse! Ok, not it hasn’t.
    * Republican Guard commanders will surrender! Ok, no they won’t.
    * Basra is taken! Ok, no it’s not.
    * We found a chemical weapons factory! Ok, maybe it isn’t.”

Just now, I heard Rumsfeld talk of the “humanity” of smart bombs. We look forward to his future explantion of why the soaring birth defect rate in Iraq caused by depleted uranium actually increases genetic diversity thus helping us all. Uh huh.

RumDumb is also babbling about how Iraq displaying American POW’s violates the Geneva Convention when, of course, he did precisely the same thing with the Afghanistan POW’s we transported to Cuba. Does this man ever stop twisting the truth?
