American Tax Dollars at Work in Psychological warfare towards Iraq

4 October 2008

The Pentagon will invest 300 million U.S. dollars over the next three years to produce pro-Western news programs for the Iraqi media, it was reported.

It has signed contracts with four private companies for the task last week, according to reports.

The U.S. military expects the plan to expand its "information and psychological operations" in Iraq far into the future.

The move reflects a new U.S. thinking about the military's part in media propaganda, contrary to honest news reporting and programs.

Uniformed communications specialists and contractors are now an integral part of U.S. military operations from Eastern Europe to Afghanistan.

Iraq, where hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent previously, has been considered the proving ground for this new strategy of psychological warfare.

While back in the United States, US President George W. Bush signed a 700 billion bailout plan on Friday, that is actually ineffective for the American economy; which is falling over faster into the abyss.

Which Bush seems to have the adage for the average American or for anyone else for that matter of, "let them eat cake?"
