Dezinformatsia

One of the current lies is that the Iraqi Parliament Building is in the Green Zone. It's not. (Thanks to Michelle)

The purpose of the lie is, of course, to feed the story that our campaign in Iraq is a hopeless failure, and to thus cause it to become a failure. This is in itself a minor lie, but every one of them should be fought. Because they are all pieces of an overall strategy of causing American defeat, and electing Democrats.

(I don't mean that Left-leaning people are thinking this out clearly; they don't think. Rather, they are reenacting the lessons of their youth. especially the Big Lie that said that the Tet Offensive was an American defeat. (It was in fact a huge victory, from which the Viet Cong never recovered. All subsequent important fighting was against North Vietnamese regulars.)

But the lie caused America to lose heart and pull out of Vietnam, and so led to millions of deaths (which Leftists and pacifists cared not a whit about) and also led, along with Watergate, to huge Democrat gains in Congress (which is all Leftists and pacifists really care about: Political power.)

You have taken the words of an ANONYMOUS SOURCE on a inconsequential blog as gospel despite the fact that the entire mainstream media (and also Fox News) around THE WORLD reported to the contrary.

You have not fact checked this story yet you claim that the entire mainstream media (including Fox News) is engaged in a campaign of disinformation.

The Iraqi Parliament is housed within the Convention Center building, which itself is located well within the Green Zone. Don't believe me?

The only "Dezinformatsia" here is yours.

Please fact-check, do not regurgitate.

Thankyou.
