Do you make this crap up or do you get emails from from some doofus in the White House basement?
No, Iconoclast, that sort of thing plays well into the enemy hands, that's a fact. We are also involved in a propaganda war as well, that is a given when fighing any war, it takes place on several fronts.
No "doofus" has to say anything, or be located in the WH basement, just use your God-given common-sense. Have you noticed how quickly Al Jazeera picks up on this stuff? The most recent examples of how this plays out took place after the "holy" Qu'ran so-called flushing, Newsweek's lies, Durbin's remarks, etc. There also seemed to be a spike in bombing incidents after all this--pretty plain to me. "Crap"? I think not, many things are used as weapons besides M-16s and 25mm Bushmasters.
WORDS MEAN THINGS, sound familiar?
