How to Sell a War
The war on Iraq won't be remembered for how it was waged so much as for how it was sold. It was a propaganda war, a war of perception management, where loaded phrases, such as "weapons of mass destruction" and "rogue state" were hurled like precision weapons at the target audience: us.
To understand the Iraq war you don't need to consult generals, but the spin doctors and PR flacks who stage-managed the countdown to war from the murky corridors of Washington where politics, corporate spin and psy-ops spooks cohabit.

Military will not take over for 'many years'
A senior U.S. military commander said yesterday that Iraq's army must expand its rolls by at least 20,000 more soldiers next year than Washington had anticipated, to help free U.S. troops from conducting daily patrols, checkpoints and other critical yet dangerous missions.

Gen. Martin Dempsey, who until recently led the U.S. military's training effort in Iraq.
