Public Propaganda and the Iraq War
Watch
These Hostile Lemon Trees and Other Enemies
By
BRIAN CLOUGHLEY
It was a tiny Reuters' news item last week but
there was a lot more to it than a first glance might reveal.
"The administration arranged for some 75 House members and
25 senators to visit Iraq in recent weeks. Most returned supporting
Bush's $87 billion proposal." Nothing much in that, apparently,
other than the fact that a great deal of taxpayers' money was
spent on a series of unproductive visits. Unproductive, that
is, save for convincing the converted that they must continue
to support Bush, which is the major factor in White House management
during the run-up to next year's election; and thereby hangs
the tale, which is not only important for America but for all
of us out here.
A hundred US legislators visited Iraq,
but, as Reuters recorded, the number did not include "Senator
Christopher Dodd and three other Democrats critical of administration
policy". Why? Well, the official Washington answer was that
they were denied permission to visit Iraq because there were
"logistical problems". There were what? This is the
army that drove into Iraq and took over in a couple of weeks
and it can't arrange a visit by four Democrats because its logistics
aren't up to it? This is an Air Force with 126 C-5s and 539 C-130s
plus another 1000 or so transports of various types and so many
helicopters they would eclipse the Washington sun at midsummer
midday were they to hover concentrically round the Memorial.
But there is no space for four people to be taken to Iraq?
How could there possibly be logistical
problems about a journey of four US legislators, or four anybodies,
indeed, to Iraq? There is a public relations machine whirring
in top gear to cater for all the visitors to Baghdad and much
else besides. CNN reported Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle's
observation that "We were told an airplane was not available,
but Britain offered an airplane . . . If Britain can offer United
States senators an airplane, you would think the United States
government could do so as well." What can be going on?
First, there is the lie. It is patently
absurd and blatantly insulting to expect anyone to believe that
"logistical problems" prevented United States senators
from visiting US soldiers in Iraq and receiving briefings from
people on the ground concerning a major financial commitment
about which they should be well-informed before voting on it.
Senators Dodd and Daschle seemingly don't want to have an undignified
squabble with the White House and the Pentagon over this almost
unbelievable incident involving denigratory and vulgar treatment
of elected representatives of the American people, and the matter
has been quietly put aside. But it gives a very good idea of
the depths to which Bush administration apparatchiks will stoop
in their control freakery. (And make no mistake about responsibility
in this, because minions -- even high mucky-muck minions -- do
not insult senators without approval of somebody.)
So the second point revealed by this
example of Bush administration contempt for the norms of politeness
towards political opponents is that if you do not agree with
its every word and deed you are an enemy and must be punished.
Even distinguished US senators must get into administration lockstep
or they will be subject to treatment more usually associated
with dysfunctional schoolyard bullies than with those at the
highest levels in the capital of the most powerful nation in
the world. Bush was not speaking lightly two years ago when he
said "You're either with us or against us in the fight against
terror". Although the threat at the time was unnecessary
(and indeed stupidly offensive to many nations - remember the
9/11 headline in the French newspaper Le Monde : "We are
all Americans now"?), most of us thought the Bush expression
of intimidation was concerned solely with the 'war on terrorism'.
But it has developed a much, much wider intent. Down in the depths
of his rancid little psyche, Bush has conjured up a new war which
is uncannily reminiscent of the Nixon years.
Stephen Ambrose, in his book about Nixon
1962-1972, records that " . . . late in the first term,
Nixon was sitting round with Kissinger, Haldeman, Ehrlichman
and Colson. They were discussing some of Nixon's enemies, in
this case antiwar [anti Vietnam war] Democratic senators. Nixon
said 'One day we will get them -- we'll get them on the ground
where we want them. And we'll stick our heels in, step on them
hard and twist -- right. Chuck, right?' Colson nodded assent.
'Henry knows what I mean,' Nixon went on. 'Get them on the floor
and step on them, crush them, show no mercy.' Kissinger smiled
and nodded".
Nobody can claim that such a scene has
ever occurred in the present White House with Bush, Rice and
Rove discussing anti war (anti Iraq war) Democratic Senators
Dodd, Daschle and the others. Heaven forbid it should or could.
All Washington would be shocked -- shocked -- if it did. But
the tenor of events is eerily parallel with those of thirty years
ago, when Nixon "accused the press of being liberal, softheaded,
idealistic and out to get him . . . Nixon saw all criticisms
of his policy as a criticism of his person brought on by the
reporters' hatred of him." According to Kissinger in his
modest 'Years of Upheaval' , Nixon's reaction to the attitude
of the press was "we should draw the wagons round the White
House." Move forward thirty years, and Bush's reaction to
the attitude of the press is "There's a sense that the people
in America aren't getting the truth."
Indeed there are efforts to prevent the
American people being told the whole truth and nothing but the
truth about Iraq (and much else besides), because the White House
demands that unsavory matters remain under wraps, especially
those that might place Bush himself in a poor light. Otherwise,
revelation of truth has to be selective and, in the words of
Bush, must indicate "there is a positive thing that is taking
place inside of Iraq." On the day he made that pronouncement
there were at least seven incidents of violence directed at occupation
forces in Iraq. (There may have been more. The system of reporting
attacks on US troops is far from transparent, and there have
been instances of engagements whose details would not have seen
the light of day had it not been for the presence of media representatives.
In one egregious case, the killing of an Iraqi interpreter by
a casual shot fired by a soldier who has not faced disciplinary
proceedings would have remained unreported had it not been that
a distinguished foreigner was covered in the blood of his dying
assistant.)
The beginning of the Bush campaign aimed
at improving public awareness of all that is Good in Iraq involved
despatch of the Commerce Secretary, Don Evans, to Baghdad for
forty-eight hours, during which extended period of deep exposure
to the country he decided that "I'm not scared here. I feel
very safe here, quite frankly" (CNN October 14).
October 14 was the day on which three
US soldiers were killed (in, respectively, Tikrit, Baiji and
on a road fifteen miles north east of Baghdad). But the valiant
Evans, surrounded by bodyguards, stuck to his guns, as it were
(having overnighted in Kuwait), and announced that these were
merely "isolated acts of terror". He scolded the media
and said "You have to look beyond these isolated incidents
that are occurring". Mike Allen of the Washington Post reported
that "Asked if he had seen any problems Evans said 'No,
I have not. There's lots to be done, in terms of rebuilding the
economy of Iraq'." So in 48 hours in Iraq, fearless Don
Evans saw no problems. Mind you, as a Texas oil magnate Friend
of George who directed the Bush 2000 election campaign, Evans
could hardly be expected to see problems of any sort in Bush
policy.
One positive thing about the Evans' exploit
is he demonstrated beyond doubt that he is a patronising oaf.
When he saw two boys selling soft drinks he brought his convoy
to a halt and bought one. Reuters reported "he called the
youngsters symbols of Iraq's entrepreneurial spirit and said
'We need to bring more capital into this country . . . to develop
the private sector'." It would have been more to the point
if he had asked why the kids weren't at school, but his attitude
epitomises the Bush approach to news : get a quick soundbite
headline whenever you can. His proposal about bringing capital
into Iraq is a reasonable one. Perhaps it might make up for the
destruction by US troops of people's livelihoods.
As reported by Patrick Cockburn in the
Independent (UK) the day before dauntless Don dropped in, "US
soldiers driving bulldozers, with jazz blaring from loudspeakers,
have uprooted ancient groves of date palms as well as lemon and
orange trees in central Iraq as part of a new policy of collective
punishment of farmers who do not give information about guerrillas
attacking US troops . . . The children of one woman who owned
some fruit trees lay down in front of a bulldozer but were dragged
away, according to eyewitnesses . . . When a reporter . . . tried
to take a photograph of the bulldozers at work a soldier grabbed
his camera and tried to smash it . . ."
Of course any farmer who dared tell US
troops about guerrillas would be signing his death warrant, as
anyone with a shred of common sense would realise. Further, but
seemingly irrelevant to modern US practice, Article 33 of the
Fourth Geneva Convention states "No protected person [civilians
under occupation rule] may be punished for an offence he or she
has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise
all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited [as
are] reprisals against protected persons and their property."
An Iraqi newspaper quoted a US officer, Lt-Colonel Springman,
as saying "We asked the farmers several times to stop the
attacks or to tell us who was responsible but the farmers didn't
tell us." So he destroyed their livelihoods. Little wonder
occupation forces are hated by so many Iraqis. But we are assured
by Evans there are no problems in Iraq and, as White House spokesman
Scott McClellan said three days after the trees were destroyed
to the sound of blaring jazz, "We're making great progress
about improving the lives of the people there in Iraq . . . "
After spending four days in Baghdad,
Rep George Nethercutt (R-Wash) told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer
on 13 October that "The story of what we've done in the
post-war period is remarkable. It is a better and more important
story than losing a couple of soldiers every day." Oh my.
There's real compassion for you. For anyone to talk casually
of "losing a couple of soldiers a day" is disgusting.
But he is on message, just like Rep Greg Walden (R-Ore) who returned
from his visit enthusing about "restoration of a water pumping
station that is now irrigating 150,000 acres of farmland".
Pretty good. But a pity it isn't irrigating the fields where
all the fruit trees were bulldozed. (And obviously Reps Nethercutt
and Walden are more important than Senators Daschle and Dodd.)
The vice-president and other administration
figures have made speeches claiming much the same as Nethercutt,
Evans and Walden : there is nothing new out of Iraq except good
news and anything bad is the fault of the media. "There
is a positive thing that is taking place inside of Iraq"
is the Bush mantra of the moment, and an assault on middle America
is being made to spread that message. But those who would try
to deceive us end up deceiving themselves. In the words of Bush,
"The people in America aren't getting the truth". He
is quite right. Washington's private self-deception is manifesting
itself as public propaganda, and this is dangerous for the whole
world, not just America.
