AEI's first scandal - Altering maps of Baghdad to make Sunni areas look bigger

[ck4829]

Here's an American Enterprise Institute map of Baghdad.



Look at all that Sunni! The AEI is pushing for an escalation of troops to quell the 'freedom hating' Sunni Insurrection and we obviously need to do it, the Sunni Muslims are dominating Baghdad, it's no wonder we don't have control yet, right?

Hey! Wait a second, that map is not accurate.

Here is an actual map of Baghdad.



Why are they doing this. Well, let's spread the word to find out why.

1. Kick to let more people see this

2. Good question. Another kick. nt

3. I think this should be shown on Washington Journal.

They have a spokesman from AEI on their program a couple of times a week!

4. Ha. I like how the airport is "Sunni Dominated"

When it's practically a U.S. military base, being the only place safe enough for W. to visit in as brief a stay as possible.

Actually though, I would guess that if AEI were to fudge the map, they would do it in such a way as to make success look easier than harder (read: cakewalk), which has pretty much been the neocon MO since the war started.
