Information Warfare; Iraq Qaeda-linked group calls Bush's plan a defeat
DUBAI (Reuters) - An Iraqi militant group linked to al Qaeda dismissed President George W. Bush's new strategy in Iraq as proof of a U.S. defeat, an Internet statement said...
An example of Perception, The Media and the War in Iraq
Times and the popular press have changed. While we are still conducting research, we can't seem to find any instances where the WWII press published comments by Japanese or German generals saying that then President Roosevelt's plans were "proof of defeat." This article is a typical example of what we were discussing in our earlier post on ""Perceptions and the War in Iraq" (see elsewhere on this blog). During WWII, editorial comments of Americas enemies like this would never have been published.
This purported statement from the "Islamic state in Iraq group"
(Mujahideen Shura Council), and posted to a suspected Islamic militant
website, is obvious "propaganda" and its only intent is
to discourage America and her allies, while bolstering Sunni insurgent
terror groups.
