I've heard the cry of "Reichstag Fire! Reichstag Fire!" over and over. If Putin needed a true Reichstag Fire, he could've used any one of the hundreds of atrocities committed by the Chechens against Russians, starting with the Moscow apartment bombs. I don't have time to pore over your old posts, but I'll bet you've been screaming "Reichstag Fire!" after every single Chechen-on-Russian massacre of the last 5 years.

And you're going to continue to hear it...from many corners. Putin's effort to manufacture a Reichstag fire through brutal his Chechnya policy has become transparent...but hey, a dictator needs to manufacture a convincing excuse for removing a government.
It adds an element of legitimacy for an illegitimate act.

Putin had something like 90% of the vote going into the last election, but supposedly he had to make secret agents plant bombs and blow up their fellow citizens in order to win.
Ranks right up there with the conspiracies about the Israelites supposedly being behind our 9-11.
