^^^^ Also, it isn't attempting to derive a preconceived conclusion from a selected set of circumstances -- a definition of propaganda. Instead, it takes a narrative form from the point of view of the participants to a particular action. There is a vague allusion to the weakness of the decision-making process but no overt political motive driving it. IMO. If there had been, then Geo Bush I and especially Bill Clinton would have been severely skewered and harshly roasted. As they both deserved. IMO.
