Now I Get It: The Bush-Rumsfeld War On Terror Game Plan is Straight From Ishtar!

My partner came home and promptly tuned in some really awful TV programming after a few days with the set off. We're talking things with Vince Vaughn (wow), and Vince sadly was the highlight.

Then, from out of nowhere, he finds "Ishtar". For the youngest of readers, "Ishtar" was often joked about as a really terrible movie, starring Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty. In it, there is this nutty plan in the Middle East where the U.S. is doing something bad and some "Muslim" types are doing something bad against the U.S. and...

Well, if you ever get the chance to see this, you will understand that whoever wrote the plot for the "overthrow" clearly served as the true architect for Bush and Rumsfeld with the War on Terror, the War on Afghanistan, and the War on Iraq. You know it for certain by the time Beatty informs Hoffman there is NEVER any wind in the dessert and then, of course.... well.

Just watch the fucked up plot in the vaguely amusing movie because I swear, somebody at the White House used "Ishtar" for their game plan.
