Well theoretically if you had the processing power to attack bitcoin, couldn't you just attack litecoin, and change the rules around including bitcoin hashes, or whatetever, before attacking bitcoin ? 

No, because SHA256 and scrypt don't use the same asic hardware, so to have 51% power in both would be near illogical, if not impossible.
