( Less than half of Americans think U.S. can win in Iraq ) .... that's because the MSM and Dems have the sheeple convinced that we can't win in Iraq
Terrorism is just a tactic, a tactic which is effective only upon those personally affected by the terrorist act, UNLESS that act is reported and magnified and discussed and fretted about and forced into the conciousness of millions of people thousands of miles away from the scene of the act. Terrorism depends upon the media for its effectiveness.
Propaganda is a component of psychological operations, which fall under the umbrella of information operations. Counter propaganda is a tactical psyops mission to protect the troops from the effects of enemy propaganda, but strategic counter propaganda to mitigate the effects of enemy propaganda on domestic target audiences is against the law. Our military psychological operators can't help us. The success of the enemy's partial regime change last November means the law will not be changed soon.
Who does strategic counter propaganda for American target audiences?
