Polish term
byliśmy zwodzeni (ad hoc konkursik)
Polish to English
Art/Literary
Government / Politics
oczywiście w sprawie broni jaką rzekomo poukrywał niejaki M. Rażeń - jak byście to oddali? "taken for a ride," o który właśnie jest wrzawa, rzeczywiście nie jest zbyt fortunną próbą. Deluded? Chyba też mocniejsze od zwodzenia?
Nie tłumaczę tego ale chętnie posłucham propozycji.

we were fed with plausible arguments
może tak?
plausible = seemingly true, acceptable, etc.: often implying disbelief.
Plausible applies to that which at first glance appears to be true, reasonable, valid, etc. but which may or may not be so, although there is no connotation of deliberate deception [a plausible argument]
[Webster's]

Wiem akurat na 100% - słuchałem korespondencji Marka Wałkuskiego z Waszyngtonu, ktory powiedział, że właśnie taki zwrot został użyty.

they pulled the wool over our eyes
Pull the Wool Over His Eyes
Dates back to 1839, meaning "to deceive". "Wool" refers to a powdered wig, such as men used to wear. Pulling down the wool wig would temporarily blind the person wearing it.

propozycja do wykorzystania, bo dlaczego wszyscy mają używać tylko trzech wyrazów? Ja uważam, że politycy powinni mówić długimi zdaniami :-)
We were led in the most correct and wished-for direction using a picture of a large and stinking mushroom which we desperately wanted to find and get rid of for the glory of our brave troops and the country (whispering: and me, too). To our (not quite positive) surprise, the mushroom turned out to be not that large… ekhm… rather big than large…ekhm, ekhm, well… actually… Double You, where did you lose that picture??
