Benj quotes Wretchard and claims the following is a “doozy”:

Probability alone almost guarantees that today there must be a considerable number of such people government, the media and in business who are secretly in the service of China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, al-Qaeda, drug cartels, Chavez, Castro and God knows what else.

For goodness sake, Chinese spying is rampant in American industry, and there are dozens of front companies in California that exist only to buy/steal technology. Clinton happily sold them the store for campaign cash. Saudi money drifts like snow through government and academia. You don’t think the rest are in there laying cash down? What, the Russians??

Ever hear of “oil for food” Benj? Money is changing hands everywhere. As that great 80s song from The Brains had it:

We think we know what we’re doin’
We don’t pull the strings
It’s all in the past now
Money changes everything
Money changes everything
Money changes everything

Were there some way to bet on W’s statement, I would pawn everything I own with absolute confidence and lay my money on him being right. Except possibly for Castro, who I suspect doesn’t care anymore, but was neck deep at one time.
