| Gee, Mr. Peabody, the democratic elections in Iraq went off without any major hitches. Guess Dubya knows what he's doing after all. He went in there to restore democracy. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Sherman, you dumb fuck, that is the biggest load of dogshit I have heard in my entire life. And I'm a dog. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Set the WABAC machine for 1953. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Here we are in 1953. Is this Iraq? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| What does that have to do with Iraq today? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| If you'd shut your fuckin' yap for two seconds, I'd tell you, dumb ass. That's Kermit Roosevelt, Teddy's grandson. He's CIA, and he's plotting the overthrow of the leader of Iran. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Was he a dictator like Saddam Hussein? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| No, he was democratically elected. We just didn't like him. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| We installed our boy as "The Shah of Iran" though he had no more claim to the Peacock Throne than I do. And when he died, his son succeeded him. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Criminy, Mr. Peabody! You mean we replaced a democracy with a monarchy based on primogeniture? | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Well put, boy. Thank god we don't have that in the United States. But the new shah was the same as the old shah and people got tired of him and he was overthrown by the Ayatollah Khomeini. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| The Shah fled to the U. S. Iran demanded the extradition of the Shah so he could be tried for high crimes while in office. We refused. So they took our embassy hostage for 444 days. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| The hostages' return was negotiated by former CIA director George Herbert Walker Bush, who promised the Iranians arms if they would release the hostages-- | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| --after the election, in which Bush was running as the opposition vice-presidential candidate. Jimmy Carter lost, largely because of his perceived ineffectiveness with the Iranian hostage crisis. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| So George H. W. Bush owes his career to the Iranian hostage crisis. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| So does Dubya. Not to mention Ted Koppel. But I digress. Iran got into a war with Iraq. What dog do you think we backed in that fight? | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
 | |  |
| No, I'm sorry, but we have some lovely parting gifts for you. We sold weapons of mass destruction to Iraq. Saddam Hussein was our boy, installed by the CIA in 1958. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| What kind of bottom-feeding, short-sighted, dumbass, venal, greedy piece of camel shit would sell WMD's to a murderous despot like Saddam Hussein? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
 | |  |
| Meanwhile, the Soviets had taken advantage of the instability in the area to conquer Afghanistan. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
 | |  |
| Well, Sherman, some historians say that Russian history can be read as one long quest for a warm-water port. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| But Afghanistan is landlocked. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Nobody said the Soviets were too bright. | |
