Hi,

Used against your enemies, Maskirovka is admirable, essential. All warfare is based on deception, Sun Tzu said that centuries ago. Machiavelli echoed it much later.

Used against your people, Maskirovka is abhorrent, self defeating. The USSR did that and it is no more. The Third Reich did that and it ended in flames. Closer to home we have Tricky #$%& himself.

Jesus wept, I hope that thought is wrong.

As do I. I would infinitely rather be wrong than have the USA suffer the repercussions if my misgivings prove true. While I consider them to be of low probability, the very fact that I can entertain them at all (for I am neither a conspiracy nut nor a paranoid) gives a strong indication of my opinion of this administration. Shrub may have his heart in the right place, but if his heart is motivated by "higher truths", then I for one do not trust him and would put nothing past him. History is full of those who did great evil in the name of good and god.
