some fun and good-natured right wingers have criticized me for criticizing the war effort in iraq.
i’ve routinely said that anyone familiar with iraqii history would/should’ve known that an invasion of iraq was bound to be a disaster.
george bush senior wisely knew this, that’s why he refrained from overthrowing iraq in the early 90’s.
who else might have known this in the early 90’s?
who might’ve said:
“for us to get American military personnel involved in a civil war inside Iraq would literally be a quagmire”
john kerry?
hillary clinton?
ned lamont?
why…who could’ve said such a thing?
oh, that’s right, it was dick cheney, in 1991.
looks like some people in the administration weren’t always blithering idiots.
maybe at some point during the 1991-2001 period dick cheney was practicing auto-erotic asphyxiation and cut of the supply of oxygen to his tiny brain?
what happened to squeeze the intelligence and common sense out of 1991 dick cheney and replace it with ignorance and hubris in 2001 dick cheney?
really, what happened?
oh well.
fun times at the white house.
