Jon Stewart declared complete bafflement on Thursday night's edition of "The Daily Show" as the U.S. entered into a bizarre entanglement in the Middle East that had him asking, "whose side are we on again?
"The Iran that we're currently crippling with sanctions and periodically threatening to bomb is now our...I don't wanna say ally," Stewart said. "Battle buddy?"
At the same time, America supported a coalition led by Saudi Arabia striking Iranian-backed fighters in another Middle Eastern nation, Yemen.
"Holy shit!," Stewart said. "It took decades of destablizing conflict but we finally figured out how to wage a proxy war against ourselves."
"We cut out the middleman, and now we're just punching ourselves in the dick."
