And some of the neo conservatives have stated again and again on C Span that using "tactical" Nuclear Weapons is simply the prudent way to go. Which wouldn't matter except that the neo cons I am talking about all wear three and four star General Uniforms.

Of course, the masters of the Big Lie could care less about factual information.

Back in late 2002 and early 2003, it was: "Yellow cake" in Iraq, mushroom clouds over London unless we immediately attack Hussein. That worked well for the "warrior class."

The American public falls for propaganda the same way that white hugs rice. Makes things quite simple for those currently running this place.
