"Thanks to the grandiosity and naïveté of W., Dick Cheney, Donald
Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz — another Jeb foreign policy adviser — U.S.

Iraq, we are working with Shiite Iran to push back Sunni insurgents in
Iraq and working with Sunnis and their Saudi Arabian allies in Yemen
against a Shiite militia that has Iranian support."
