And I didn't say it was a quid pro quo. I said it was clever on Putin's part. What does it cost him?
Do you lack any ability to think critically about this stuff, or do you just decide to suspend disbelief?

Give them credit, they have been saying all along that Iraq was a threat. That is pretty generic.
But more importantly, I'm just trying to understand what he has to gain now, that he wouldn't have gained by giving his vote in the security counsel.
Is that critical enough for you?
