RF: The coverage of Iraq has been supine and pathetic in the American press and television. Basically, Americans are not being told the realities of the situation. For example, we’re told constantly by George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld that this [potential war] is partly about human rights. “Saddam has used gas against his own people. He’s used gas against the Iranians. There are human rights abuses. There are torture chambers . . . ” It’s all true, but it was just as bad in 1983. Saddam started using gas against the Iranian army in 1983. When he was doing that, President Reagan decided to reopen the American Embassy in Baghdad. And the man he sent to reopen the American Embassy was Donald Rumsfeld. So Donald Rumsfeld was shaking hands with Saddam when Saddam was using gas, but now expresses his horror that Saddam is using gas. So why did he shake hands with him? Why did he reopen the American Embassy? So what the question is, what is all this nonsense about human rights? We didn’t care about it then. Suddenly we’re supposed to care about it now as an excuse to go to war. <Next |  Previous>  [Last |  First |  Messages List]     All Replies to Manipulation of American public opinion (Total Number 45) Reply  Title  Name  Replies  Date(GMT)  how to ki11 an Amer1can  1nf1de11  0 (4:5) 26/2/2003  Universal Message to ALL  Anastasia  0 (1:9) 20/2/2003  http://groups.msn.com/IslamicWorldOrder/  Raheel Qureshi  0 (20:13) 16/2/2003  Stop the war  Diaz  0 (6:27) 14/1/2003  Sorry Dej...  Mujahid 17  1 (17:56) 28/12/2002  To: Muhammed Jafar  DEJ3  0 (3:14) 25/12/2002  To Mujahid17  Muhammed Jafar  1 (0:0) 25/12/2002  Mohammed The PBS Legacy  Non-Terrorist  0 (14:25) 24/12/2002  To: Methinks  Truth Seeker  0 (17:1) 23/12/2002  To: Islamfalcon  DEJ3  0 (0:14) 23/12/2002  American Public Opinion  BeDavid  0 (19:0) 22/12/2002  TO US Citizen and M 17   Homer02  4 (8:46) 22/12/2002  To Methinks  ukinus1950  1 (22:57) 20/12/2002  Strange trend  Mujahid 17  2 (20:55) 20/12/2002  To: Methinks  Truth Seeker  1 (19:31) 20/12/2002  ''All the news that's fit to print, except unfavorable news about Israel'' part 2  Methinks  1 (14:38) 20/12/2002  ''All the news that's fit to print, except unfavorable news about Israel'' part 1  Methinks  0 (14:37) 20/12/2002  The offensive art of secrets and lies   Methinks  0 (14:20) 20/12/2002  War within a war: the press and the Pentagon  Methinks  0 (5:48) 20/12/2002  Lies, damn lies, and the Pentagon  Methinks  0 (5:40) 20/12/2002  Manipulation  ukinus1950  1 (5:35) 19/12/2002  As an American - It is my duty to lie!  Rehmat  1 (5:15) 19/12/2002  US Citizen: Regarding your ''Ask yourself'' post  Mujahid 17  3 (22:13) 18/12/2002  Journalists are under fire for telling the truth   Methinks  0 (9:57) 18/12/2002  Bush wants war no matter what  sis_khadijah  0 (17:8) 17/12/2002 First Previous Next Last
