And immediately thought of Jon Lovitz's character Tommy Flanagan the Pathological Liar. "Dubya & I, we decided to invade Iraq because of those Weapons of Mass Destr-- ah, because Saddam gassed-- because of his ties to terror-- no, to bring peace to the entire Middle East! Yeah, that's the ticket! Peace, to the entire Middle East! That's why we invaded Iraq!"
