We overthrow Iraq's secular Sunni dictator with an illegal invasion based on lies, unleashing a decade of war that has left hundreds of thousands dead.

He is then replaced by a Shiite leader closely aligned with our big enemy, Iran, and who is in a de facto alliance with the secular Alawaite dictator Assad in Syia, whom we are currently trying to overthrow.

And now we are sending intelligence officers to help the guy who is the ally of our enemy fend off the Sunni Islamic crazies who are also attacking Assad in Syria.

Meanwhile, we are sending anti-tank missiles to the "good" rebels in Syria.

Who in God's name is running our foreign policy?
