Things that make you go hmmmm....

   ....What do the Japanese and the current US media and liberals [1]have
   in common?

     U.S. troops have been mystified at how differently the war they
     fight in Iraq is portrayed by the U.S. media back home. Most just
     shrug it off as "politics," and yet another reason to not trust
     what the mass media presents as reliable reporting. But recently,
     the troops have been passing around an interesting discovery.
     Namely, that the Japanese psychological warfare effort during World
     War II included radio broadcasts that could be picked up by
     American troops. Popular music was played, but the commentary (by
     one of several English speaking Japanese women) always hammered
     away on the same points;
     1 Your President (Franklin D Roosevelt) is lying to you.
     2 This war is illegal.
     3 You cannot win the war.

   I don't really need to comment on this, do I?
