Ted Rall for April 05, 2010

Was your source for this revelation named Oscar? Because this is BALONEY!

Ted, what is your source for this?

They’re waiting for the blindfold and a water hose.

after yesterdays earthquake in So. California, we are left in “Medium security”- in der arnolds police state and we are tortured by “cuts”in budgets, slowly.

Ted, thanks for a great cartoon, and for posting that link.

Rabit; in a nutshell, time is money

Oh wow… Ted’s cute….

Oh.. um… comic… Bad!

Grim. Thanks for the link.

They didn’t have to buy it. He was born suckling on their teat.

What did FDR do to Haiti?

The US has become calloused to the wrongs committed by our military. Hell, Cheney is proud of his enhanced interrogation techniques along with his minions. Excellent cartoon.

I think ya’all’re forgetting the important things here…

Ted’s quite the cutie.

^I’ll take your word for it.

Ted Ralls first post since December 11 2009!!!! :D

Bruce: “That being said, the United States has declared “War” on “Terrorism”. If you are to engage in war, then you MUST bring your “A” game. Simply put, you kill every thing in your path until there is nothing left to kill. Last man standing wins. So to speak.”

Nonsense. The whole idea behind the concept of “War Crimes” is that there are some actions which are unacceptable even in times of war. It has been said that this idea is “quaint”, but I disagree. If you’re claiming any sort of moral high ground, you must act accordingly. If you would slay dragons, take care lest you BECOME a dragon.

It’s a minority of soldiers who would commit atrocities without being ordered to do so, and a minority of commanders who would order them. (I believe or at least HOPE that this is true.) But those who do so cannot be winked at or dealt with lightly, or the rest will come to think “Well, I guess it’s OK to commit a war crime if it’s REALLY REALLY REALLY expedient.”

Well it’s their fault for conceiving children in a quake riddled land.

Scorched-earth, take-no-prisoners “Total War” IS an atrocity.

If the city-state of Fritzenburg and the city-state of Bruciania went to war, and the Brucianians flouted the Geneva convention and burned Fritzenburg to its foundation stones and slaughtered its civilian population, Bruciania would be reduced to a status of pariah state by the world community, a coalition of other city-states would invade and remove its leaders and put them on trial. If your battle plan resembles a “Final Solution”, you’d better make damm sure it’s FINAL.

If only they had used their Second Amendment Trump Card.

Thanks for playing.

Guess what: The War of 1812 was started by the U.S.

The war of 1812 was started becuse the Royal Navy considred U.S. sailors to be fair game for impressing into British naval vessels,unless I’m mistaken. Can you cite a source, sirrom?

Ted - so you believe everything the New York Times prints? Get a life buddy and while you are at it, why not move - Chevez would love to have you.

The Americans could certainly cite numerous egregious provocations, but they were the ones who actually declared war on June 18, 1812, and invaded Canada.

By the same token, you could claim that Great Britain started World War II because they declared war on September 3, 1939, even though they could certainly cite numerous egregious provocations by Germany. The one who throws the first punch isn’t always the one who starts the fight.
