I was actually vaguely recalling that article while reading this one, and before reading your original comment. Yes, virtually identical. The ‘rich syrians’ partying while civil war rages, complete with pool party photo.

Isn’t propaganda great? And most people would never realize this happened. Gee...I wonder how many times this happens a week...

A little sleuthing should turn it up since it's archived on FR. Proper search words or tags would help since there have been so many 'syria' articles since then you'd have to weed out hundreds of false hits. But it is out there, ain't you.

No I meant with other issue articles/different subjects. I mean we all know the Global warming rehashes but you just know that some of the less obvious stuff got a couple word changes and a new byline for another trip through the public mind. Familiarity breeds acceptance.

They write the same type of articles about whatever all the time but I wonder how many are so blatant.

There were a lot of recycled news articles on the Iraq insurgency and on the Israeli move into Lebanon some years while back.

"I still can’t understand what the US government is trying to achieve in Syria."

It's not that you can't understand it. You, like just about everyone else, can't accept it. Call it normalcy bias if you like.

The normal state of the moslem world seems to be chaotic. The US, under the sway of its communist, moslem president, has entered this chaos. The result is more chaos.

Chaos is, seemingly, the desired result. Consider: Libya, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Ferguson, Baltimore. Chaos reigns. Policy aims have been achieved. What is next is anybody's guess.

Most likely a Russian.

Still worthy of a repost.

Kind of a fatalistic point of view. Why fight for a lost cause. Live it up, and then when everyone else perishes, perish too.
