One of the biggest shams in the "American Iraqi Occupation" was brought to light yesterday as Mary Tillman, Kevin Tillman and Jessica Lynch talked about the true story of Pat Tillman's death and Jessica Lynch's injuries and subsequent capture.
I could write something comparing what the Tillmans and Ms. Lynch said versus what we, the American Public, were told. But a picture is worth a thousand words, so I was thinking of something like a visual aid. But because I'm a sucky artist, I'm using videos. So think of this as a "video aid."
The following is one diarist's attempt to illustrate how the neocon-driven White House tried to distort the truth and confuse the American Public. Enjoy!
This is Jessica Lynch's testimony:
This is what they wanted us to think happened (with Buffy Summers playing the role of Jessica Lynch):
In other words: they took the story of a private who was injured and captured and made it into a story of a super heroine fighting off the big bad Uber-insurgents.
This is Kevin Tillman's account of his brother's death:
This is Mary Tillman's expressing her frustration:
This is what they wanted us to think happened (with Wolverine playing the role of Pat Tillman) :
In other words: they took the story of a death by fratricide and made it into the Last Stand.
Which brings me to this conclusion: this is how I think they want us to see the "War on Terror":
And this is what they want us to think Iraq is like:
Sure, I'm exaggerating here, but only to make a point. They tried to force a lie on us in order to distract us from their failures in Iraq. They outed Valerie Plame because Joe Wilson was pointing out their flimsy reasons for attacking Iraq. They are lying about how much money they have for the troops, and how Sen. Reid is a defeatist because Democrats want a change in course for Iraq (like get us outta there!). Lies upon lies upon lies.
We must deny their fantasy, and engrave the truth into the minds of the American Public.
