Rall Rails.

July 31, 2003

I thought this essay by Ted Rall pretty much nailed it.

Paul Wolfowitz was certain the Iraqi people, eager for liberation, would throw roses at our troops. Cakewalk city, promised Cheney. Major combat is over, Bush announced at his thumbs-up aircraft carrier photo op. We'll only need to stay a few months, swore Tommy Franks. We know exactly where the WMDs are, insisted Rumsfeld. We've found the WMDs, said Bush. Well, we will find them, they all say, though not often anymore. Every single thing they tell us turns out to be dead wrong.


Now they say things are getting better. Read the paper. Watch the tube. E-mail a soldier stationed in Iraq. Does the occupation of Iraq seem like it's getting better to you?

This is so right on. I can't believe how gullible the American public is, or maybe I can, I just don't want to believe the way people seem to be wearing blinders and only seeing what they want when it comes to "how things are going in Iraq." Thanks for pointing at this!
