Fearless Leader ----> considers Iraq a "grave threat" ----> announces a policy of preemptive war ----> invades Iraq ----> makes a mess out of everything ----> Iraq turns out not to have been a "grave threat"...at all ----> 3 years later, we are still there ----> Fearless leader ----> "considers Iran a 'grave threat'" ---->
reaffirms his policy of preemptive war ---->
