http://www.consortiumnews.com/2004/092004.html - Perhaps the best way to understand Campaign 2004 is to think of the Jedi Mind Trick from the Star War movies, a wave of the hand and a hypnotically suggestive phrase make the feeble-minded miss the obvious. “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for,” Obi-Wan Kenobe tells storm troopers who are looking for precisely those droids.'

Visitor,

Absolutely.

"Saddam Hussein has stockpiles of WMDs..."
"Saddam has active chemical and nuc-ya-ler weapons programs..."
"We are making progress..."
"The war in Iraq has not created terrorists..."
"The world is safer..."
"We've turned the corner..."

They just say these things over and over, knowing that they are not true, knowing that they are easily proven to be entirely inaccurate, and still the weak-minded American sheep eat it all up as gospel without demanding so much as a shred of evidence to back up anything they say. And that's what the Administration is counting on because they don't even have a hint of a shadow of a thread of a shred.

No, not sheep. Lemmings. Lemmings headed for the sea.

Visitor,
GWB: These aren't the WMD we're looking for.
MEDIA: These aren't the WMD we're looking for.
GWB: They're over in Iran, Libya, Switzerland, France.
MEDIA: They're over in Iran, Libya, Switzerland, and France.
GWB: Now give me some motherf*cking missles, America.
