NP - Afghanistan's Invincibility: Piercing the Myths

[Doug Millison]

Tough time to be a spinmeister trying to sell this war!  It may be too hard
to stomach if we're only killing starving refugees, kids, old folks, so
play up the angle of how tough the Afghan fighters are...but not too much,
don't want people to think we might be getting into something we can't
handle.  Yes this marketing campaign will be interesting to watch.  I read
in the October 8 issue of Time magazine that Karen Hughes and Karl Rove are
working on that very problem:  how to sell the war to a U.S. public with a
famously short attention span.  On Page Two.
