I think he’s been possessed by bin Laden, because everything he’s done has been exactly what Al Quaeda hoped for. Right now, bin Laden is praying to Allah that we’ll be stupid enough to attack Iran. That would be the cherry on his halal sundae, the one thing that could actually finish us off as a Superpower.
