Harping on the Name Director

On the news you can hear endless repetition of names with very little discussion of the purpose of a war. Even though bombs and bullets were flying, the real battle was to give the other side a bad name. Eventually, when Saddam was caught the war had to change, and the Americans became named the Occupying Force. Now the Americans want to take down their flagship name and just call themselves peacekeepers. But, the name Saddam Hussein is not dead yet so be sure to watch him renew his attacks on name America even from his jail cell. What is also interesting about the Iraq war was that one of the key pieces of knowledge that directed the war, the intelligence about weapons of mass destruction, turned out to be false knowledge.
