According to Julian Cole of Informed Consent (who I think has consistently done very well in his predictions of what has transpired to date in the Gulf misadventures) in his article "Five years of Iraq lies", "each year of the war has been characterized by a central lie by the Bush propaganda machine." He identifies "How President Bush and his advisors have spent each year of the war peddling mendacious tales about a mission accomplished" like this:Year 1: "There is no guerrilla war."
Year 2: "Iraq is a model democracy."
Year 3: "Zarqawi is causing all the trouble."
Year 4: "There is no Civil War."
Year 5: "Everything is calm now."
And further suggests "that John McCain is pushing for:"Year 6: "Total victory is around the corner."
