71. Ah, so he used Egypt and Tunisia, popular revolutions around
world. Except we supported both Mubarak and Ben Ali even after those revolutions were well under way.

I hate being lied to. I would prefer and might even accept the truth. The days when propaganda worked are over. Even Hillary knows that, which is why she is trying to get funding so we can 'fight the information war' and 'get our message across'. Now that people are far more informed than they were, ten years ago, they will need to stop using this kind of manipulative dialogue. People are not easily fooled by it. Especially people in N. Africa and the ME and Latin America.

Just tell the truth. We don't care about civilians. The killing of civilians in Afghanistan and Pakistan is ongoing as he tells us he cares about Libyan civilians. It just doesn't compute.
