The White House is reminding people that Russia was the victim in the theater attack–the Russian government was not the aggressor, in other words. As the Chechen terrorists’ standoff fades into history, expect them to be forgotten about (most are dead anyway) and the blame all be placed with Putin. That’s not to say this mystery gas was the best way to go, but the media best not forget that most likely everyone in there would have died if action wasn’t taken.
