Among the things I am able to still recall is the yellow cake/ mushroom cloud bullshit to justify the attack on Iraq. I remember a fellow named Ahmed Chalabi, who the necroconservatives thought was their friend. He turned out to be Iranian intelligence. While serving as Netanyahu's lap dog is in many ways distinct, I suspect that this is (a) not going well, and (b) not going to end well.
