so i have to write an essay on some event or group that used propaganda. i chose the bush administration's disinformation campaign about iraqs wmds. i know that they went on the news and said that they had wmds then turned around and when someone wrote an arcticle about what condoleeza or dicky said it they used it as a credible source or proof about the wmds. but i need a source of this and cannot find one anywhere. help! its due tomorow.
 
use the part where bush put up the America success banner thing on the Military ship referring to the Iraq war being a success i bet oyu can find it on new york times online database
 
dude you should have chose Nzai german it would have been alot easier... or germany/ any country really during the first world war.
 
you're an idiot. you clearly havent learned what propaganda in the most direct sense means. You can't find proof because that wasn't propaganda. They were wrong and made a mistake (consequently misleading the american public) based on very poor quality intel. That's not propaganda.
Hitler's manipulation of Darwinism on the other hand, that might be propaganda. I agree. Use world war II.
 
you should use Obama's disinformation campaign about healthcare. Or any of his many attempts to silence the opposition.
 
the were not misinformed. bush was planning the war six months before 9 11 occured. the british and us had intelligence that they had no weapons."President Bush'sCabinet agreed in April 2001 that 'Iraq remains
StartFragmenta destabilizing influence to the flow of oil to international marketsfrom the Middle East' and because this is an unacceptable risk to the US'military intervention' is necessary." (Sunday Herald newspaper (UK), "Official:US oil at the heart of Iraq crisis"EndFragment
 
Propaganda - the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person

Sounds like what happened to me. I can't believe you are denying this. Intel thought the WMD's they had were the Scuds we fixed up in the 80's pre-gulf war. Are you really defending the Bush administration on this? In order to move on from this and LEARN from our mistakes, we need to ADMIT our mistakes, not push off the blame. We the American people remained uneducated and unmoved by a tirade on a certain country who really did not pose a threat. How could this kid trying to do a project on a legitimate concern of propaganda be an idiot?

What you can say is the nationalization spur after 9/11. That is a very strong point as we felt very weak as a country and war often times is the outlet for that weakness. Look at how drastically Pearl Harbor changed American opinion of WWII. FDR tried everything but the American people wouldn't sway to fight a war. Then we were attacked and it legitimized the war to the people. That's an important point. There were underlying and sometimes outfront implications of Saddam having ties with Al Qaeda and that was a gutwrenchingly touchy subject. Emotions definitely played a pull in it.
 
Really man? Is this serious?

I can maybe see propaganda used for health care, but it's health care. Not a war. Wars generally have more drastic measures taken and a larger margin of benefit from risk.

Silence the opposition? You seriously are sounding like left-wing conspirators saying Bush planted dynamite in the tower and the Illuminati is out to get us. I really hope for your sake that you can someday find a middle ground and stop nit picking with your bias perpetuated by an illusion I fail to even see.
 
no they were incredibly misinformed, but you are right that Bush wanted to go to war even before 9/11.
Just google stuff. Your bound to come up with something
