there weren't any posters on DU (or very few) who bought that in my recollection.

I don't see the parallel- Bush set out to invade Iraq long before he did it. He had an agenda, and he manufactured propaganda to get people who were either too lazy, apathetic or whatever to go along.

I don't believe this administration wanted to get involved militarily in this issue. It's been criticized for dragging it's feet- and is being accused of spear-heading it.

Yes, we DO all know "Propaganda works ". I'm trying to work against it. I think there are statements in this OP aimed at doing the opposite.
