I can tell you all about how the propaganda campaign to justify the Iraq invasion was pulled off. They had agents on message boards and all over the Internet even back then. They even drafted the comedian, Dennis Miller, to go on late night tv shows multiple times and push the propaganda there. I was astounded that very few people were talking about what a sell job it all was.
Just to refresh everyone's memory: Saddam didn't have WMDs. It was a total put up.
We need to somehow get these intelligence agencies and their deep state buddies put back in a box.
- frenchy 7y agoIIRC didn't they get bad intel from Iraqies who wanted an invasion (because they didn't like Sadam)? I think they might have known the intel was suspect, but didn't ask too many questions. I grew up among conservative US expats who didn't have message boards and mostly didn't watch television. I think you underestimate the desire of some Americans to relive their glory days and "liberate" other countries. Edit: I think most of them didn't really even care about WMDs, they just knew Sadam was an evil person (and to be fair, he was).
- mistermann 7y agoI'd love to hear as many details about this as you have.
