U.S. SOFA propaganda Ads in the Arab media
What this report “U.S. to Fund Pro-American Publicity in Iraqi Media” on the Washington Post doesn’t tell is that the propaganda campaign is already started since few months ago.
I already reported about the U.S. propaganda campaign on Arab satellite TV’s. right now there also newspaper and magazines campaign pushing the Iraqi public to accept SOFA [see images below]. Most of these images are published in few Iraqi dailies and many Gulf-States newspapers.
Interesting in these Ads is that all of them connects opposing-SOFA to Iran and describes SOFA as the solution to the violence sweeps the country.
P.S.
I am not defending Iran and I am not denying Iran’s influence in Iraq but remember also that there 170,000 American soldiers in Iraq, 130,000 mercenaries, and about 1 million Iraqi died because of this occupation.

Greetings from the Listening Post – Al Jazeear English meida show. Hoping this finds you well and in good health.
I was reading the Karen De Young piece in the Washington Post on the U.S. funding of pro-American publicity in Iraqi Media and thought you would be an ideal contributor to the piece that I have decided to do on it.
Please let me know whether this is something that would interest you. I have pasted a link to the article for your convenience.
I would be keen to get you camera with this story – maybe even web-cam if you have one.
