Cannon Shell,
I agree with your statement, "We just see what is fed to us by the media and gov't both of whom have agendas."
The mainstream media feeds us Anna Nicole, Brittany, Paris...on and on.
Can we agree that there's lots of distraction going on?
The current administration has fed us these statements:
It's a slam dunk!
We'll be greeted as liberators
We'll be in and out of there in six months
It will be a cake walk
Iraq is central to the war on terror
We can do it with 150,000 troops
Saddam Hussein had connections to Osama bin Laden
This war is about ridding Saddam of weapons of mass destruction
This war is about bringing freedom and democracy to the Iraqi people
This war is about defating al Queda
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!
BRING 'EM ON!!!!
This is a major turning point
That is a major turning point
The insurency is in it's final throes
We've turned a corner
When they stand up, we'll stand down
Absolutely we're winning
Freedom in Iraq is on the march
And let us not forget the First Fool's famous sixteen words:
The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa

Hmmm. I wonder if there are any lies being said.
And Pgardn,
Gorbachov only cited "hindsight".when referencing the Soviet debacle in Afghanistan, and the consequences are quite well known.
He presented a way forward for the United States regarding current circumstances. Believe whatever you wish.
