"Iraq Distracts from Fighting Terrorism" and "Iraq Distracts from Balancing the Budget"
Perfect example of the crankery I was talking about, obsessions with narratives and "distractions" and totally getting the causality of everything backwards. Iraq Invasion was the imperialist prize, a step towards the final goal of destroying Iran. It wasn't a "distraction" from anything, and in fact that other BS like "balancing the budget" is the actual distraction if anything.
