More Nonexistent Than Weapons Of Mass Destruction

The widely criticized pre-emptive strikes on Iraq by the Bush administration based on the belief that weapons of mass destruction is certainly a regrettable thing. However, Bush is not the only one who wants to fight something that's not there:

JOHN MCCAIN: There is the Republican Guard in Iran, which Senator Kyl had an amendment in order to declare them a sponsor of terror. Senator Obama said that would be provocative.

So this is a serious threat. This is a serious threat to security in the world, and I believe we can act and we can act with our friends and allies and reduce that threat as quickly as possible, but have no doubt about the ultimate result of them acquiring nuclear weapons.

BARACK OBAMA: I believe the Republican Guard of Iran is a terrorist organization. I've consistently said so.

For those who don't understand why this is amusing, the Iranian military is called the Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinijahdjrhdjadhejad responded by declaring war on America and its Royal Air Force.
