Happy Anniversary, Fredo. Got you on my miiiiiinnd

There are corners of the Mind Of Dooley that are dark and mysterious.

 

Nah, it's just the heart of the night owl calling.

He actually said this today in a Q&A:

"By the way, in the report it said, it is -- the government may have to put in more troops to be able to get to that position. And that's what we do.

And as you know, my position is clear -- I'm the commander guy. "

The commander guy.

That the sequel to Cable Guy?

 

This is the best part:

"Extremists and radicals love vacuums and chaos. It gives them a chance to use their tactics, tactics of death, to spread their ideology. The more chaotic a region, for example, or the less control there is in a region, the more the state looks like a failed state, these people that attacked us on September the 11th can be emboldened, it will encourage them."

Attacking Iraq:

a) created a vacuum
b) created chaos
c) made the region more chaotic than the status quo
d) created a "failed state"
e) all of the above

And yes, Saddam was an evil motherfucker.

"1984" was once a prophecy.

Now it is part of history.
