Iraq is like apple pie, hot dogs, Old Glory and mom so let's all give it a hug

Why not? It's only a matter of time because every other pathetic comparison means as little. Chalabi as Thomas Jefferson? Sure, let's float that too! The latest pitch to paint a smiley face on this failed exercise of "daddy, I can do better than you and show you how macho I am" is recycled from the administrations earlier attempts draw comparisons to WWII, the Good War.

As far as comparisons, well let's see. Both were wars and both were fought overseas. In WWII, the entire country was mobilized against forces that were crushing countries and killing millions of people. Hmmm, well Iraq did attack Quwait and which forced their leaders to hide along the Cote d'Azur in 5 star luxury and we all know just how painful that can be. With this war, average Americans are so involved that they have enjoyed tax cuts and have (had) been buying up gas-guzzling SUVs. Oh the horror. Can you feel the sacrifice?

So, what are the other comparisons to WWII and Iraq?
