The outing of the history of the first U.S. war on Iraq shows a previous lying government and misleading propaganda eagerly forwarded by mainstream media.

The precursor to the most recent war disaster in Iraq is informative. The 1991 war was "short" and "successful" so the public was not forced to face the truth at the time. Eisenberg sounds positive about Obama; we shall see. Does he believe the fable? Escalating in Afghanistan and keeping 50K occupation troops in Iraq is not a promising start.
