Not like it hasn't worked before

From Patrick Chappatte (Switzerland).

They are kind of like a kid who burns down the school because he did poorly on a test. The massive failure of 9/11 distracted attention from the stolen election and general bungling of the early W months. The criminal attack on Afghanistan distracted attention from any serious investigation of 9/11 or placing blame where it properly belonged--on the Bushies. The criminal invasion of Iraq was used to cover up the lethal pointlessness of the Afghan quagmire and failure to capture bin Laden (as if they really wanted to). AWol would prefer to destroy the world rather than admit failure--and he's well on his way.
