Iraq was supposed to have WMDs but didn't and Condoleezza Rice was worried about mushroom clouds over New York and Tony Blair was concerned about 40 minutes to launch to London. Saddam said he didn't have them but they attacked and killed him anyway.
Afghanistan caused actual trouble for USA and a lot more besides, fulfilling Enoch Powell's predictions for England, and planning more. So they were also invaded with Omar and Osama replaced by Obama.
Now, Iraq wants USA and the COW to leave and so do lots of people in Afghanistan. Where can they withdraw to? Tanks are quite big and need a lot of room as do fighter aircraft and large AWACs type Spectre aircraft.
Hey, here's an idea, Iran is right next door and has lots of parking lots available near Tehran. While the troops are there, they could check out the WMDs being built since people seem to be worried about WMDs and went looking in the wrong place.
It was silly to go looking in Iraq when they were being produced in Iran = a very similar name so I can see how King George II got the two mixed up - heck, they are even right next door to each other.
It's a bit like Osama and Obama = the security people would have to ensure that new hires detailed to look after the President get it right. "Okay, watch out for Osama who is the dangerous terrorist. He's tall, dark complexion. Had a beard, long hair and head covering but he might have shaved all that off as a disguise. Wears robes like pyjamas. Shoot him on sight coz he's lethal and you won't get a second chance."
Next think you know, Obama comes wandering in to the White House having been for a walk in the garden in the evening in his pyjamas. Says to the suspicious guard "It's okay, it's just me, Obama". Having quick reaction times, the guard gives him both barrels...
Meanwhile, Russia seems to have figured out that having Islamic atomic bombs just over their southern borders isn't all that great. Beslan and Moscow movie theatres and other attacks have shown Russians that they are vulnerable. It must be a lot easier to get an atomic bomb from down the road to Moscow than all the way across the oceans, even if there are regular opium shipments to hide it in.
