11 September 2002 - Iraq attack

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

reporter: Mr. President, why Iraq?
President: We must strike boldly at the center of the Axis of Evil, and shatter it forever!
reporter: Ooh, resonant. But why not North Korea? At least everybody would know what to do for a government afterward.
President: Well, the confluxence of geopolitical factoids, in, uh, the unstabled Middle East region and, uh, previous UN revolutions, or something like that.
reporter: Your dad told you, eh?
President: I tried throwing darts, but I only hit ocean.
reporter: Grenada was not exciting enough?
