Re-watching Charlie Wilson's War on HBO. A movie that truly gets better each time you watch it, and its chock full of good quotes and WTF moments. Just in the last 15 minutes:
* Gen Zia gets introduced in his fete as "Zia didnt kill Bhutto"
* A bellydancing baptist girl entertaining an Egyptian minister
* Gust Avrakotos to Joanne Herring: "I dont see god within miles of this conflict, but if you sleep with me I may change my mind mighty quick" and
*"As long as the press sees sex and drugs behind the left hand, you can park a battle carrier behind the right hand and no one's gonna f***ing notice. "
* Israeli arms dealers shipping tanks to the Pakistani government
* A US Senator lecturing the afghans on how America is always on God's side and they respond with Allahu Akbar.
* Kovraktos to Wilson: "Youre not really stupid, just in congress"
Truth, as always, is stranger than fiction, and if a good storyteller presents it, a whole lot funnier as well. Related: Wag the Dog
