Yes, of course, which is why any suggestion that the "CIA" was helping Chi-Coms during the 1930s is so utterly ridiculous it's beyond response.

Factually the assertion about the "CIA" might not be correct, but the sentiment itself is most definitely correct - the very same Communists who riddled the FDR & Truman administrations, and who helped Mao rise to power, are indistinguishable from the Valerie Plame / Joe Wilson / Foggy Bottom types who are working so diligently to bring down the Bush administration and to promote the causes of nihilism, statism, and Islam.

The names may have changed over the course of the last century, but the methods & the ends are the same.

Let me give you guys a clue.
I know this will come as a huge shock to you to learn...

During World War Two, until it's end in 1945, our ENEMIES were the AXIS powers -- i.e., Germany, Italy and Japan. Got that so far? Axis = enemy.

Our ALLIES were the Communists -- especially the Soviet Union, who lost 100 dead for every American soldier killed in battle. In those days, we liked and appreciated the Communists, we didn't consider them our enemies, and we were glad for every Axis Enemy they killed.

Now, of course, you may consider that naive, even wrong headed, but the facts are the facts, and if you don't understand it, then nothing America did in those days can make any sense to you.

Got it?
