“Daily Show” host Jon Stewart compares the campaign to justify war with Venezuela to the lead-up to the Iraq War, down to the leaders’ “remarkably similar taste in facial hair, body shape, ceremonial sabers, and headgear.” “They’re convincing us that Iraq was an entirely different set of circumstances. That country was led by some sword-wielding, mustachioed madman who held an iron grip on his power and people. Nicolas Maduro is-oh, s–t,” Stewart joked. “Well, look, I’m sure a lot of leaders use the same sword guy. Superficial coincidence. Same sword, same mustache-I’m sure they wear different hats! Oh, boy…” “You guys have the balls to tell us that the pretext for Iraq was bulls–t, and that war was a mistake, and we’re not like that anymore, and also Venezuela has weapons of mass destruction, and we have to stop it.”
