This video isn’t new to me, however it was pretty astounding when I saw it the first time. At the time of Gulf War I I was still living in Germany and wasn’t as familiar with American Foreign Politics as I am now that I’ve lived here for over 8 years.
It’s just amazing how Cheney, over 10 years ago was able to so precisely describe what the situation is like now. Actually it’s not that amazing - what’s amazing is that we let him get away with it. By we I mean the media - I unfortunately don’t have direct access to politicans otherwise I’d probably ask them a question or two.
In case you want to see other deja vu items - check out the band ‘Consolidated‘ - they have a song on their 1993 album which talks about the media culture in the US, how CNN is the spokesperson and advertisement channel for the government, etc. The funny thing is that although that band’s music is over 14 years old, the lyrics match what’s going on today. One of the only differences is that Fox news have taken over being the government sanctioned bull horn.
