Actually, they'd have kept that lie going until they suddenly 'discovered' that it was the Soviets all along when the Cold War started. In 1948 or something.
Like they suddenly discovered that Saddam Hussein using chemical weapons was Very Bad when they wanted to justify a war against him... when at the time he was using them, they were supporting him with arms and satellite data, and even covering for his use of those very same chemical weapons.
They were covering him because it was our chemical weapons.
This is why I always had a problem with people just asserting that there were no WMD's in Iraq. Of course there were. They were our WMDs. It was Rumsfeld who sold it to him!
Lo and Behold, we found them, covered it up, and let several NBC servicemen get injured and be uncompensated for trying to dispose of the weapons in a safe manner. The NBC guys were eventually helped after the federal courts had to step in and stop the VA from covering up the injuries.
Your incoherent ranting has no point and I don't respect it.
Madden Commission in the 50s. That's why I mentioned him.
I didn't know about that, but it's interesting that it turned out that they did it when the Cold War started. Of course, you don't exactly have to be a genius to figure that out.
The Nuremburg Judges were going to prosecute Wehrmacht officers for Katyn (at the insistence of the Soviets) until the OSS and MI6 unofficially informed the Allied judges that the identity of the Katyn perpetrators was an open secret and had been for years. The Nuremburg trials, as a whole, were decried as show trials at the time by respectable legal experts all over the world, but that has been memory holed.
Who are the legal experts you're talking about. I know H.L.A. Hart thought prosecution was appropriate.
The Gulf Wars banked on the fact that Americans hadn't the slightest clue what was going on with Iraq. Not that they should have a reason to. But Americans aren't gonna remember and care, for instance, that Saddam used to be the USA's friend. Or which ones are the "good guys" over there. Actually, you can pretty much just tell Americans, that one wants to get Israel. And Saddam did want that.
