8. Does anyone remember the Fallujah invasion?

The media exploited it as some glorious military event to rid Afghanistan of some final "terrorist stronghold" saying the citizens had been warned to get out weeks in advance. The U.S. military apparently thought that was enough fair warning so they followed up the "invasion" of that city with numerous documented war crimes.

Nothing like pure propaganda as a cover for massive crimes against humanity. Still, people here and everywhere else soak up the mainstream media's lies every single day as if these crimes and lies and 1000s of others never happened.

The people who planned all of the crimes are all free and clear too as we're told to just look ahead and forget the worst political criminals the U.S. has ever endured.
