NYT Has Rundown On Bush's Failed Media Spectacles Used To Fool Americans
Bush administration's media spectacles in Iraq

The Times has a rundown on the Bush administration's failed media spectacles it used to fool Americans into thinking things were going well in Iraq (of course they helped).

These include Bush's "Mission Accomplished" speech, "the Restoration of Iraqi sovereignity", democratic "elections", and parliamentary "elections".

It's online HERE.
