It Just Gets More Bizarre

The story about Russia's warning about Iraqi forces attacking the US three years ago keeps getting stranger. The State Department says that they have absolutely no freakin' idea what the hell Putin is talking about.

That's not good. The State Department would seem to be the place where foreign states would ocme with this sort of information. It's really bad when the Department of State is not cut in on diplomatic ventures. I believe "dysfunctional" would be an applicable term.

So I may have to retract my earlier statement about the Russians goading us into invading Iraq. My new question is this: What did Putin get in exchange for riding to Bush's rescue? I think he's a pretty decent guy, so he probably only asked for a puppy.
