'Toontime: Deja Vu Again

credit: Monte Wolverton

Like a lingering odor, Iraq has come back to offend United States policymakers. But they have only themselves to blame for stepping in the horse shit that still sticks to their shoes. The Current Occupant was finally forced to oust Nouri al-Maliki who quit under the pressure yesterday. Is reunification what lies beyond him or possibly another dark age for the region formerly known as Iraq?. Perhaps the US military will still be fighting jihadists equipped with modern American weapons left on the battlefield by the time the next Occupant takes a seat in the Oval Office.
