"To top things off, the Iraqis had sent some SCUDs over just before the war got started. Most had been taken care of by Patriot missiles, but one got through. Wouldn't you know it took out the Starbucks where we'd hung out during our prewar training?
That's low, hitting a coffee place. It could have been worse, I guess. It could have been a Dunkin' Donuts.
The joke was that President Bush only declared war when the Starbucks was hit. You can mess with the U.N. all you want, but when you start interfering with the right to get caffeinated, someone has to pay."

He was smart...not an educated man, but smart enough to survive the second Gulf War despite being deployed in Iraq more than once. Quite a few of us cake-eating civilians wouldn't last nearly as long under similar conditions.
