Rummy admits he is losing propaganda war?

Mr.
President,
Is Rummy admitting he is getting beat at his own propaganda game?
The Secretary of Defense says American opinion has been shaped by bogus information supplied by al-Qaeda which the mass media has used to mis-inform the American people.
He was probably upset that with the exception of FOX TV, and Rush Limbaugh, bogus information from his department has not taken root.
This latest tirade of Rummy-speak surrounds the number of civilian casualties and damaged mosques brought about by the recent unrest between the Shiites and Suunis.
Rummy says 379 Moslems died while the Washington Post reported 1300 perished. The Interior Minister quoted 1077 deaths.
Washington Post used figures from Baghdad's morgue officials. Rummy says the Interim Prime Minister reported 379 and that morgue workers were intimidated into reporting higher figures.
Rummy could not cite a single example of mis-reporting but insisted Al Qaeda was responsible for the exaggerated numbers and yet he could not tie a single number directly to any al-Qaeda news-front either.
Rumsfield openly stated Al Qaeda's media committees have beaten his efforts to control the war's propaganda which in turn has caused America's dissatisfaction with the war.
I find it kind of gruesome to have an argument about numbers of dead people as though this is some kind of score in a game.
I love how your administration always seems to find somebody to blame for things besides themselves. The buck never stops in your West Wing.
Now, I am supposed to believe al-Qaeda has media committees which are so well organized, so effective that they are able to outfox the Pentagon's multi-billion dollar public relations efforts here in the states?
And I though it was a stretch for you guys to keep blaming Clinton for today's maladies.
Is Rummy having second thoughts about going to war against such super-smart al-Qaeda fellas?
After Cheney's critical remarks made before American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) about Iran; how much longer will it be, before Condi exclaims "We can't wait for mushroom clouds on our streets before we act?"
The run up to another war is disturbing but almost equally disturbing is how comfortable mister. "locked and seriously loaded" feels speaking before this controversial group.
AIPAC illegally received highly classified information last year and the person who passed the information to them was sentenced to prison for disclosing it.
Lawrence Franklin a neo-con, and former career analyst at the Defense Intelligence Agency was arrested and sentenced to 12 and a half years last January, for passing American secrets to two individuals from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
It makes me wonder how patriotic Dead Eye Dick really is?
I guess if he is capable of outing a career CIA spy like Valerie Plame, , he is capable of working against America in other ways as well.
