Re: US and Islamic State: ‘We did see this coming’
Fair enough. But i think all politicians use the media to manipulate public opinion. It is extremely effective because people allow themselves to be so easily controlled.
The presidents team had so successfully demonized the dissenting voice as UN-American/UN-patriotic it stifled meaningful dissent, politicians thinking of their political careers and all. Tampering with the evidence as was latter pointed out in the leaked Downing Street Memo (fixing the intelligence around the policy) and working the country into a frenzy with the fear mongering of mushroom clouds over a US city!!
