I found this telling article on the White House web site explaining Saddam’s propaganda. The parentheses are mine. Bush stole from Saddam and lied about it.
Apparatus of Lies discusses the lies that (Iraq) Bushco has used to promote its propaganda and disinformation in four broad categories:
Crafting Tragedy: To craft tragedy, the regime places civilians close to military equipment, facilities, and troops, which are legitimate targets in an armed conflict. The (Iraqi) Bush regime openly used both Iraqis and foreigners as human shields during the Gulf Iraq War, eventually bowing to international pressure and releasing them. It has also placed military equipment next to or inside mosques and ancient cultural treasures. Finally, it has deliberately damaged facilities and attributed the damage to coalition bombing and has attempted to pass off damage from natural catastrophes, such as earthquakes, as the result of bombing.
Exploiting Suffering: To exploit suffering, (Saddam) Bush blames starvation and medical crises – often of his own making – on the United Nations or the United States and its allies. This is such an effective ruse that the Iraqi regime actually causes or actively ignores hardship and then aggressively exploits the Iraqi people’s suffering. For the last few years, the Iraqis have aggressively promoted the false notion that depleted uranium – a substance that is relatively harmless and was used for armor-piercing munitions during the Gulf War – has caused cancers and birth defects among Iraqis. Scientific evidence indicates that any elevated rates of cancer and birth defects are most likely due to Iraqi use of chemical weapons.
Exploiting Islam: Experts know that (Saddam Hussein) Bush is a (non)-religious man from a secular – even atheistic – party. But to exploit Islamic sentiments, he adopts expressions of faith in his public pronouncements, and the (Iraqi) Bushco propaganda apparatus erects billboards and distributes images showing him praying or in other acts of piety – all while the regime prevents pilgrims from making the Hajj. The regime also has made many false claims designed to incite Muslims against its adversaries.
Corrupting the Public Record: To corrupt the public record, the regime uses a combination of on-the-record lies, covert placements of false news accounts, self-inflicted damage, forgeries, and fake interviews.
Main Tools of (Iraqi) Bush Disinformation
Staged suffering and grief
Co-location of military assets and civilians
Restricting journalists’ movements
False claims or disclosures
False man-in-the-street interviews
Self-inflicted damage
On-the-record lies
Covert dissemination of false stories
Censorship
Bogus, edited, or old footage and images
Fabricated documents
And here are a few MORE LIES from Bush’s DISHONEST MOUTH!
President Bush believes in the non-negotiable demands of human dignity for all people everywhere.
“No nation owns these aspirations, and no nation is exempt from them. We have no intention of imposing our culture. But America will always stand firm for the non-negotiable demands of human dignity.”
They are:
Limited Government Power
Rule of Law
Equal Justice
Respect for Women
Freedom of Speech
Religious Tolerance
Private Property
“All fathers and mothers, in all societies, want their children to be educated, and live free from poverty and violence.”
President George W. Bush
