Well, I think the info's been floating around for awhile, yet not confirmed by Warner.

Yet, as you say, timing is strange because he was the one who came out of the WMD briefing and made the positive statement.

"The timing is curious"

The whole thing is curious. Even thought I am aware that John Warner has aligned himself with the religious right, this just does not fit.

okay; this must be a metaphor, don't you think. . .for the eventual 'rebirth' perhaps of Germany and Russia into more democratic countries?

History as we know it; notwithstanding. . .(?)

Warner's a politician, Moon's a billionaire, it doesn't point to any obvious reasons why Warner might help Moon?

"Moon's a billionaire, if it helps put the pieces together."

So does that mean that if you have money, a religion to promote, then in today's government your in?

Close. The religion part is unnecessary.

Since when?

I don't think Warner is a friend of the religious right.

And Moon is not part of the religious right.
