    It’s “funny” I was just watching the Rorschach “do it!” clip earlier. That’s how I’m starting to feel.

    2001

    I believe we didn’t invade Iraq until 2003.

    Although, curiously enough, Iran helped us do it.

    Doubly ironic, given that Bush Sr was so instrumental in beefing up the Iraqi military ten years before the '91 invasion… for the purpose of invading its neighbors. (https://archive.is/HwX3A)

    What is it about hardline reactionary Islamic governments getting baited by American neoconservatives to spin around, show us their backs, and point to the spot a knife would sink in most deeply?

      I think they meant Afghanistan in 2001.

      Correct. Maybe OM[1] is too young to remember.
