Saddam Hussein's Iraq was talked up as the greatest existential threat to the U.S. since the British crown, but it turned out the country had little more than a few old, spent shells with left over residue from the chemicals Don Rumsfeld brokered to the dictator during the 1980s... (now of course, the country, under U.S. occupation, really is dangerous...)
Iran is supposedly preparing to bomb Israel and us out of existence any minute now ... and any minute now, we'll come up with something really really significant to do about it...
And now North Korea's scary missiles, which even former Clintonistas, backed by the wack-jobs at Fox, Free Republic and on talk radio, were insisting we needed to shoot down, I suppose just before our invasion ... were Limbaugh-esque in their flaccidity.
Well surprise, surprise. The war on terror abroad is a joke, and the terror cells at home are a bunch of guys doing karate in a Miami warehouse.
