True truths from the Voice of America, or panic at the Pentagon

The NYT may be America's "newspaper of record" (sorry to the pretenders over at the WP) but for the TRUE nitty-gritty about what's really going on in the halls of power, you can't beat the Voice of America.

That, after all, is the official propaganda mouthpiece for the US government. All the others are unofficial.

And America's official propaganda outlet wants you to know that all that nasty shit you've been reading about jihadi types flooding into Syria is just SO NOT TRUE.

VOA are flooding the world-wide web with their unique take on the situation. And since they've been engineering it from before the beginning, we know they know what they're talking about.

Ya, there's been photos circulating of Syrian rebels flying the al Qaeda flag, but that's not what it seems.

That's Assad propaganda designed to discredit the rebels!

And yes, there have been rebels coming from other countries, but most of them are Syrians who were fighting for freedom in Iraq or Libya and are just coming home when freedom's call beckoned them back to their homeland.

VOA reports rely heavily on "non-partisan" think-tanks like the Institute for the Study of War.

That non-partisan think-tank was specifically formed because its non-partisan backers thought the surge in Iraq wasn't getting enough good press. They've been pressing their non-partisan agenda ever since.

The very partisan anti-war pro-peace think-tank here at Falling Downs thinks the fact that VOA is trumpeting such obvious hokum is because they've realized that the foreign jihadis are running away with America's carefully planned war on Syria/Iran.

Ya, we wanted those guys out, but we didn't want an even more toxic brand of towellers taking over!!!

PANIC AT THE PENTAGON!!!
