Mohammed: Hero drone commander of the Pakistani army. Man 1: W'sup? That today's kill list? Man 2: Wish it were, Mo. lefties got their shalwars in a bundle over the drone memo. Man 1: WTF? We're killing American terrorists here! Man 2: Which is cool. But remember that dad and son who turned radical Christianist and joined Almerica? They were Pakistani citizens! The Majlis is pissed! Man 1: Pakistanis, huh? Pakistanis do have rights. They're supposed to get due process. Man 2: Obviously. Man 1: But is it still open season on the rest of the world? Man 2: Of course! But lay off Pakistani citizens while we sort out the memo.

Another excellent role reversal, like in Lysistrata. Will it help? No, folks will feel offended and outraged instead of taking on board this satire. They aren’t like that, they’re the fine, moral upstanding citizens of the world. They have niceness on their side. And will miss the bloody point.
So, why oh why, do they hate us?

That’s why we WROTE the International Law. Unfortunately, they won’t obey it. Kind of like we did with the Brits in 1776.

I suspect Anwar al-Awlaki’s extrajudicial execution, despite being American, made no impact on Americans because he isn’t named John. Or even Andrew. Anwar…Andrew…Anwar meh, shoot the bugger.

Dubya’s BS line…they hate us because of our military presence there. I’d rather not spend my tax money so we can play with our toy soldiers in the sandbox.

Really? How can you still believe that? As Osama bin Laden said, if they hated our freedoms and dissolute Western values, they’d be attacking Holland like nobody’s business. And yet…why aren’t they? It’s not like the US is even close to being the freedomest country on the planet.

“Not to worry much about because the drones are only used against those who can not defend themselves.”#Oh. In that case, carry on!

“People are missing the hidden message in this toon. Obama is using Drones to Kill Americans, that is the message in this toon.”#Only if the American’s are not from Peoria IL!

I’m forced to admit that this is one of Ted’s best efforts. If he keeps this up I’ll have to stop taking him seriously. 8^)
