It’s 2006. The President has embroiled us in an unpopular war in the Middle East and has lied about it.

  Notably, the US is on precisely the opposite side of the conflict in 2026 compared to 2006.
  To put it differently: its stated allies are direct lineal political and military descendants of the parties who were ostensibly its enemies in 2006, including Al-Qaeda / Jabhat Al-Nusra.
