Propaganda, Chris? The targets of this military action are the leadership of Iraq, Saddam, his sons, his generals, etc. There are ongoing talks with the leadership, the generals, etc., to end this conflict and some generals have already been captured. The Shock and Awe is the power and the precision, pinpointing the military and strategic targets while not destroying the whole Iraq. It is working and the leadership is having difficulty as their command communication system is breaking down. -- The Philadelphia Talk Radio Politics and Opinion Forum

In reply to: Chris Henry 's message, "The second myth is of course the "Shock and Awe" myth, that the regime will implode when we blow up government buildings and terrorise the population. It didn't work in Britain in 1941, in Germany in 1943, etc. etc. One of the biggest dangers in any war is believing one's own propaganda." on 00:22:00 03/25/03 Tue
