How fascism works

A cable released by WikiLeaks this week confirms for anyone still in doubt that by the second half of the last decade Gadhafi was fairly eager to help us fight terror. Interesting, because I hope this story becomes huge and the Republicans (by the way, I'm putting more credence into the possibility that there's an underground lair in somewhere like Arizona where the 12 most powerful Republicans meet and have total control over everything the party does. This could include Dick Cheney, David Koch, Grover Norquist, Thad Cochran, Roger Ailes, maybe John Boehner, some incredibly wealthy PR guys and consultants, etc.) have to start denying its validity. Even more interesting is Gadhafi's admission that when shit went bad in Africa, he'd go out in public and blame the United States.

What strikes me about this is that he's now blaming Al-Qaeda, and while that's essentially Orwell 101, seeing it applied to real life is fascinating.
