Where the crazy ones are...

Picture yourself back in 2001. The Taliban runs Afghanistan and harbors Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda attacks the US. This was an act of war.

Pop Quiz time: What would you do?
Answer: Defend your country, duh!

How would you defend your country? You would go after the enemy, right? Of course you would!

So who is the enemy? The attackers, and the ones who provided them safe harbor, duh!

So that would be the Taliban and Al Qaeda right?

Uhhhh, well... not exactly...

If you were U.S. President George W. Bush, that would be Saddam Hussein. Leader of the ruling Ba'ath Party in the country of Iraq.

(sound of record needle scratching) WTF?!?!?!?!

Now that it is 2010 and details are starting to trickle out, things are starting to make a *LOT* more sense. As it turns out, apparently 'ole George W. Bush felt that he was on a mission from "god". Not the tongue-in-cheek "let's rally the troops" kind of mission from god.

No...

He was on a *REAL* mission from god. "the world is ending in a blaze of glory and I was elected to fulfill biblical prophecy", kind of mission from god. His book of bronze age fairy tales (a.k.a the "Bible") said so!

Holy s***!

We spent a *TRILLION* dollars and over 4,000 U.S. lives chasing the fairy tales of a deluded ex-drunk frat boy?????
