facts.

To us it's make no sense to blame someone
for something when they clearly had little or
nothing to do with it. But to them they believe that
saying these kinds of things is accurate.

It's the same kind of thing that happened at the
beginning of the Iraq war when the big wigs
from Iraq would get on TV and claim
"we are winning" against the infidels "driving
them back" when it was painfully obvious that
they were losing.

Why this kind of Iraqi nonsense is even reported
is what I find of interest.
