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.

The security agreement [SOFA] blocks the way against the Iranian blind terror power.

Text at the bottom of the image:
Itala’at [Iranian Intelligence Service] distorts the articles of the security agreement to keep the poisonous digger inside the Iraqi body.
Notice the Iranian soldiers in uniform marching inside Iraq.

Text on the image:
The security agreement will guarantee the expulsion of the Iranian terror power and Iraq can extend its sovereignty on its territory.
Notice that the Iranian soldiers are leave Iraq.

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.
