This sort of garbage is typical of the Daily Kos:
There are times when the disinformation matrix and the right-wing echo chamber work to perfection. Â And there are times when it provides a wide open window into the soul of a corrupt disinformation campaign, if we only take the time to see inside.
On January 19, General Lynch briefed the media in Iraq, and provided snippets from a letter from the mayor of Tall’afar (PDF Format) to General Casey. Â In the letter (On Iraq letter head with a seal), the mayor thanked the 3rd ACR for their attempts to rid his city of terrorists. Â The second half of the letter reads as a plea from the mayor for the troops to stay in the city, so terrorists do not return.
Cal Thomas picked this up and wrote a column about it, and so did the New York Post. Â Since that time, it has been widely covered on Conservative blogs like Powerline and LGF.
However, the version of the letter covered by Thomas, the NYP, and the right-wing blogs is NOT the version that was released on January 19 by General Lynch. Â Not even close! Â Complete comparison below. Â PLEASE READ!
There were two different letters to two different people. How hard is that to fathom? There is no “campaign of disinformation.” There is a campaign to ensure we lose the war in Iraq though, and the Daily Kos is at the forefront of that effort. Thanks, Daily Kos for your help in dragging out and making this war more expensive and painful for all of us.
I’m the guy who posted the letter handed out by MG Lynch at the press conference. I have no reason to doubt its authenticity, and I’m disgusted by the attempts of the left to disprove it without a single person having actually contacted the mayor of Tal’Afar to ask him in person what the truth is. Irresponsible garbage information dissemination is, sadly, typical of the mindset of the anti-war kooks.
Just sit there in your comfy chair and undermine everything positive that gets done over here. Minimize the sacrifices of good Americans and good Iraqis at every turn. Question every step forward and doubt every moment worth celebrating, and yes, if enough if you do that, we will lose the war. Thanks for nothing. You disgust me.
