Dick Morris making a Dick of himself - again. Fox News.

Morris: You saw by these, these ill prepared reactions on Georgia. And you saw what he said today? Obama said that he understood that countries should not invade other countries and we would be in a better position to say that if we had not gone into Iraq.

Colmes: Where is he wrong?

Morris: Where he’s wrong is that we went into Iraq at the invitation of the government. Not as an invasion.

Colmes: We went to Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein. [….]

Morris: We’re in Iraq now at the invitation of the government.

Colmes: They’ve asked us to leave. They said there’s a timeline to get us out.

Morris: We’re in Iraq as a result of a democracy asking for us to come in there. It’s not an invasion. It’s not a takeover. We’re not trying to annex Iraq.

Colmes: We went in there by our own…of our own. We went into Iraq originally. Not at the invitation of Saddam Hussein’s government.

How do you get it that wrong? He thinks Barack Obama is stupid to make any comparison between the invasion of Iraq and Russia's actions in Georgia, and he's right in as much as Saddam did nothing to the US whilst Georgia attacked South Ossetia, but Morris takes it much further: apparently Saddam invited the US into Iraq!

These are the levels right wingers go to when defending American exceptionalism. What Morris really means is that Obama had no right to make that comparison. How dare he hold the US's actions up to the same level of scrutiny as right wingers hold other nations actions?

But to pretend that the US entered Iraq at the behest of the Iraqi government? Beyond ridiculous...
