These guys are taking on Newspapers and countering their reporting, and originate with former White House staff.
In July 2006, VFF—calling itself the Vets for Freedom Action Fund (VFF-AF)—registered[6] with the IRS as a 527 committee national lobby. It was, in essence, a Republican front group managed by Republican-affiliated public relations[7], media[8], legal[9], and political consultants, including former White House spokesman Taylor Gross, to defeat candidates who advocate an end to the US occupation of Iraq.

Yes, they are trying to drum up some support for their planned future bombing of Iran.

When is the Bush administration NOT engaging in some form of "disinformation?"
They realize the GOP is in a heap of trouble come election time, and the tide of public opinion is turning against the Iraqi quagmire. Also, this seems more like a knee-jerk reaction to Sen. Warner's speech calling for a gradual withdrawal of troops. Engaging in this type of campaign aimed primarily at Democrats would also hurt several GOP incumbents who spoke out against the White House, turning those seats "blue." Apparently, they did not think things through clearly.

I believe you are wrong. You have nothing to support a claim that the Bush Administration lied about anything. You mention a Republican group and a former staffer.
It appears to me that your statement is disinformation. The left wing liberal loonies in the main stream media do not report the news accurately. They don't even try. If a Republican sets the records straight, that is a good thin.
