Thunder Runs Baghdad 2003

[Suhiir]

"We captured an Iraqi brigadier general in the raid," he said. "He was completely surprised there were American tanks in the city. He believed their propaganda that the Americans were a hundred miles south, dying by the thousands. All of a sudden he's coming to work and there is a tank battalion rolling down the center of Baghdad."

Always makes things much more difficult when you lie to your own commanders.

[shahadi]

Lying to your commanders is one thing, but lying to a whole nation, is wholly different ball of wax, aka: Gulf of Tonkin and 54,000 dead later.
