Had the war been won in 2 years and a successful succession regime put in place in less than 5 years, censorship would've been successfull.
There is still places where you can buy "Freedom fries" in the US (until at least fall 2019, i've not been back in the US for obvious reasons)
You don't need it to work in the long term, you need it to work short-term and hope that you're right. Until the myth you created is deconstructed you are good. I'm not a huge fan of Baudrillard, but the point he raised in "The Gulf war do not exist" (he talked here about the first war) was basically unchallenged, and the myth of this war still stands. And i think Baudrillard have been well received in the US, no?
