Just by changing the order of a few words, USA ROCKS AGAIN!
check out the difference in perception between Pravda, uh, I mean the Times vs the Post. It should also be noted that the Times didn't headline this story until TODAY.


White House offers talks to Tehran
By Joseph Curl

The White House said yesterday that the United States is willing to talk with Iran about the U.S.-led war in Iraq on the same day that the Bush administration declared that America "may face no greater challenge from a single country than Iran."

NOW look at the same story in the post, which is the same headline I have been seeing for a few days already.

Iran Agrees to Talk With U.S. About Iraq
White House Says Agenda Is Limited, but Tehran Signals Hopes for More

By Karl Vick
Washington Post Foreign Service
Friday, March 17, 2006; Page A01

TEHRAN, March 16 -- A senior Iranian official said Thursday that Iran would enter into direct talks with the United States about Iraq, opening the way for the two countries to hold their first face-to-face discussion about Iran's western neighbor since shortly after the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.

"In the days to come we are going to designate people who are going to carry out these talks," Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said in an interview. "The important thing for us is an established government in Iraq and that security is restored."

*snip*

in the Times, the WH gets credit. In every other reasonable news service, Iran agrees first.

No matter your personal ideaology, everyone can see the propaganda at work here, right?

1. No doubt.
Funny how they didn't learn from the Iraq debacle.

2. Like Mark Twain said:
The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.
