You're right. It's more like 1983, when we poured money out for Saddam Hussein because his guys were going to fight Iraq for us.

That worked out well.

But, in the end, it doesn't matter. There's a blank check for war and I'd just love it if people cared about the extent to which we neglect our own people in service of it.
