The US is losing the propaganda war against al-Qaeda and other enemies, defence chief Donald Rumsfeld has said.
so lemme get this straight: the government with the most pervasive propaganda set-up in the world is losing the propaganda war against a - for all intents and purposes - non-existent organisation that they themselves invented as a propaganda device to create the conditions for war :olo:
"Our enemies have skilfully adapted to fighting wars in today's media age, but... our country has not," he said.

Mr Rumsfeld said al-Qaeda and other Islamic extremists were bombarding Muslims with negative images of the West, which had poisoned the public view of the US.

The US must fight back by operating a more effective, 24-hour propaganda machine, or risk a "dangerous deficiency," he said.
fucking hell, who writes this stuff? :olo:

like rumsfeld ever actually believes a word he says

edit: even referring to rumsfeld as 'defence chief' is orwellian to the max
