CB,

I fail to understand your word parsing with FL.

You quote FL as saying about Brzezinski:

Remember, he fully admitted we lured the USSR in it's own Vietnam in Afghanistan specifically to weaken the Soviet Empire.

You then say:

Not precisely accurate. What he said was:

You paste a question and answer in and the last sentence of B's answer to that question is:

And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention

I gather that "induce" in your mind is significantly different from "lure."

Hmmm.
