Calling Milo Minderbinder

Unless sanity suddenly sets in, the Bush Boy Scout Brigade is off on another Middle East adventure that could work out at least as well as toppling Saddam Hussein.
In Joseph Heller's novel, Catch 22, the commercially-oriented Sergeant Milo Minderbinder brokers a deal with the Germans wherein US planes bomb their own airport for a fee. Now, the last Neo-Cons standing, according to one of their own - Eric Edelman - are scheming to use US special forces to help the Turks suppress the Kurds. And, of course, since the Kurds have long been touted as our best friends in Iraq, we could easily wind up attacking ourselves.

Sounds like a sequel to me.
