Color me utterly unsurprised:

The Bush administration has postponed plans to offer public details of its charges of Iranian meddling inside Iraq amid internal divisions over the strength of the evidence, U.S. officials said.

Back in the heady days of 2003, when Rumsfeld said we know where the weapons are, the Bush folks almost certainly counted on Americans being too wasted at victory parties and too hungover at Saddam parties to remember why we went to war in the first place. It must’ve come as quite a shock to realize that never producing any WMDs would come back to haunt their credibility.

This time around, they’ve learned their lesson. You’ve got to build a credible case using something called evidence (pronounced ev-UH-dense).

Being new to it, their first attempt was particularly unimpressive:

Fortunately, peer review caught the mistakes:

“Jesus, Bob, that doesn’t look like blood.”

“It doesn’t?”

“No, it looks like he’s holding up a wad of silly string. And I don’t think you can actually write a description into the photo. That kinda tips off the doctoring work.”

“Oh.”

“Also, Khomeini’s been dead for almost 20 years, Bob.”

A return to the drawing board produced Iran Evidence 2.0:

Which also met with disapproval:

“What the hell is this, Bob?”

“Iran’s march into Iraq. The color shows the march.”

“Iran hasn’t marched into Iraq, Bob. That’s not the message.”

“No offense, but maps don’t lie.”

———————————

To wage war with Iran, perhaps the American people just need something that hits home a little heavier, something that shows their interests aren’t just in Iraq, but in our national treasures:

“Oh. My. God.”

“Scary, right?”

“Get the President on the phone. I think we have our evidence. Nice work, Bob.”

Just remember, you head it here first.
