Sanitizing The War Crimes

Get 'em while they're young.

British teachers told to lie about Iraq
"Britain's biggest teachers' union has accused the Ministry of Defence of breaking the law over a lesson plan drawn up to teach pupils about the Iraq war. The National Union of Teachers claims it breaches the 1996 Education Act, which aims to ensure all political issues are treated in a balanced way.
Teachers will threaten to boycott military involvement in schools at the union's annual conference next weekend, claiming the lesson plan is a "propaganda" exercise and makes no mention of any civilian casualties as a result of the war.
They believe the instructions, designed for use during classroom discussions in general studies or personal, social and health education (PSE) lessons, are arguably an attempt to rewrite the history of the Iraq invasion just as the world prepares to mark its fifth anniversary
."

The perpetrators of this horror show knew that the hardest part was getting away with the invasion and occupation. They could count on their brownshirts in the vile MSM to continuously cover for them, and they knew that they could pour enormous resources into rewriting history.
So what does Iraq look like after being whitewashed?

* "Iraq was invaded early 2003 by a United States coalition. Twenty-nine other countries, including the UK, also provided troops... Iraq had not abandoned its nuclear and chemical weapons development program". After the first Gulf War, "Iraq did not honour the cease-fire agreement by surrendering weapons of mass destruction..."

* "The invasion was also necessary to allow the opportunity to remove Saddam, an oppressive dictator, from power, and bring democracy to Iraq".

* "Over 312,000 Iraqi security forces have been trained and equipped (Police, Army and Navy)."

* "From hospitals to schools to wastewater treatment plants, the presence of coalition troops is aiding the reconstruction of post-Saddam Iraq."

What incredible gall.

I'm surprised the Bush admin hasn't tried something like this yet.

Just like 9/11, they're relying on the passage of time, their lying insistence and the inability of most people to keep plugging away for the truth. Keep people worried about their personal difficulties and saturate them with infotainment and you can exploit their vulnerabilities.
