Stephen Colbert Mocks Congress Post-Attack Iran War Vote: As Good' as Putting the Condom on' After Sex'

"Just as good. Don't worry honey, I'm gonna put the condom on right after we have sex, before quipping that it would be like trying to put a glove on mashed potatoes. The comedian drew parallels with the early 2000s, referencing the lead-up to the Iraq war under former President George W. Bush."

"Right off the top, I want to point out that an open-ended war of choice in the Middle East with no clear exit strategy or defined victory is where I got on this train, he said. But I will say that we have no clear idea where this is going or why it's going there."

"Now, say what you want about George W. Bush, and I did, he said. That guy went out there, he sold his Middle East war. That's what the W stood for: Middle East. He was not a smart man."

Stephen Colbert criticized President Trump's military strikes against Iran on The Late Show, arguing they violated constitutional limits on war and the War Powers Act. He mocked Congress for planning to vote on war authorization only after the president launched operations, comparing it to implementing preventive measures after the fact. Colbert drew parallels to the Iraq War under George W. Bush, noting that while Bush at least made a public case for intervention, Trump devoted minimal time to Iran before announcing major combat operations. Colbert also criticized the Pentagon's branding of the military campaign as "Operation Epic Fury," making a satirical observation about the name.
