More tax dollars at work

According to The Washington Post this morning, the Pentagon is putting up 20 million of our hard-earned tax dollars to find a way “to promote more positive coverage of news from Iraq.”

Yes indeedy, having failed miserably at achieving any of their stated goals in Iraq, Team Bush has decided instead to throw millions of dollars at finding a way to trick Americans into thinking the apocalyptic clusterfuck they’ve wrought is actually a burgeoning Garden of Eden suffering from a simple case of bad P.R.

Twenty million taxpayer dollars to sell us a more finely-crafted lie. It’s enough to make you proud to be an American, ain’t it?
