I agree with good_bar

Soviet complicity in the build up to the six day war though amongst the more feasible of conspiracy theories is likely to be dismissed by the same people that embrace conspiracy theories involving the CIA MOSSAD and their complicity in Sept 11.

As good_bar has remarked, all of this is a classical example of misinformation. The big lie is the lie that endures. But I am particularly impressed with good_bar's highlighting of "turn speak". It is a phenomenon I have tried to label in the past unsuccessfully lacking the succinct terminology that might enable me to capture the phenomena. Allow me to throw some weight behind this idea of Islamic "turn speak" with a quote from one of my favorite Author's RA Salvatore. In referrring to one of his principle antagonists an evil assassin the hero of one of his stories calls him a "lost chaser" who "must continuously take up and give chase vindicating himself against others for percieved wrongs that were nothing more than an honest defence against his own encroaching evils". According to the hero of the story this reinforced the Assassin's deflated ego and his "sense of craven superiority". This analysis could evenly be applied to the cohorts of Islamdom could it not?
