the rewriting of history continues apace

"I want you to keep focused on what you are doing here," [Condoleezza] Rice told the diplomats and troops who gathered in one of Saddam Hussein's former palaces. "This war came to us, not the other way around."

Fuck you, you lying hag.

Doh! I am wrong again. Previous to your comment (http://www.livejournal.com/users/ronebofh/289540.html?thread=1498116#t1498116) was saying that antagonistic Baathists / Al Qaeda relations could be compared to Russian / German relations. You put a finer point on it, adding the "also willing to make shaky alliances of convenience before backstabbing each other" factor, making the comparison even more valid.

Seriously though, I appreciate the history lesson. I wasn't interested in history lessons in high school, but actually seeing history unfold gives me new appreciation for similar events in the past.
