70%: BushCo Propaganda Alert

Ever notice how BushCo tells the MSM they are 70% through with everything. I remember Condi saying that they had 70% of the terr'rists behind bars and the next question was how many is that? You have how many, and there are 30% more? And she was like DUUUH....didn't know what to say.

Now Fallujah is 70% contained....a catastrophic success!! Just about done but don't worry if it goes on for a bit to get the remaining 30%.

And points all over Iraq in flames.

Seriously, who in the world would believe this BS??

3. People LOVE percentages.

It makes it sound quantifiable and "scientific" even when it's complete bullshit.

6. Seven - significant number in the bible - means completeness. It's in

Revelation 52 times! Might be coincidence. :tinfoilhat:

8. And there are always "3000 insurgents"

or 3000 al-qaida. Thousands are killed, yet there are still 3,000 left.

9. Yeah...For A "Small Group Of Saddam Remnants"

they sure do pack a punch! although I guess at some point they morphed from the Saddam Remnants to All The Terrorists In The World So We Don't Have To Fight Them Here.

GOD!!! It's totally depressing to me that people buy this malarkey. It's the divided states of Duh-Merica!
