There He Goes Again

There are perhaps 10,000 neocons in the U.S. who think that re-making the Middle East justifies the death of 1,000 or more American lives. The problem is, they told the other 250 million of us a bunch of other shit that wasn't true (for whatever reason; at this point I don't care). Now, guys like Club and Bilmore are placed in the uncomfortable position of saying that, as each of the other justifications for temporarily colonizing Iraq turns out to be horseshit, the broader agenda of re-making the Middle East was their top priority all along. It's like Wile E. Coyote looking down to find he's accidentally run off the edge of the cliff, and holding up a sign that says, "Hooray! I meant to do that!"

The irony of lying to the public to bring democracy to the Middle East!
