I can't believe the American people are actually ready to get this whole thing fired up again.

And of course the immortal words at the end of the song:
"Meet the new Boss! Same as the old Boss!"

Thing is, the old boss dealt with a cat named Saddam who had no (or very few) weapons of mass destruction and had absolutely nothing (zero, zip, nada, zilch) to do with 911.
And now...
The new boss is confronted with the old boss's legacy in the form of ISIS. A rather unpleasant bunch who have been merrily flouncing about of late sawing off heads, burying women and children alive, crucifying villagers, and carrying out Einzengruppen style mass executions whenever the fancy strikes them.
Different boss, different Iraq, different world.
