   I just remembered why I usually do not look at your ’toon. You appear to be deranged.

   ramirez, you have reached a new low.
   This so called cartoon is unconscionable and outrageous.
   I am shocked and dismayed, aghast and appalled.

   Vietnam veterans know better than anyone how important it is to avoid military quagmires, and Obama is correct to work with them. A Good Cartoon.

   Ramirez demeans the value of the Pulitzer. If he got it twice, it means it’s worthless like the Peace Nobel.

   I agree with Sen. Hagel that the DoD isn’t a jobs program.

   The three men depicted have all been directly involved in reigning violence upon those declared enemies of the U.S. There is nothing abstract in their thinking about death as an option. There is nothing abstract in their understanding of the bloat in parts of our military.

   I look at all these RWNJ ’toons every day for the same reason I check Faux News every day: KNOW THY ENEMY!

    What a dumb cartoon. Even the GOP opposes new taxes, so they implicitly agree that the Defense department needs major cuts. It’s nice to have someone in charge of DoD who actually can do arithmetic. As for the Kerry comments, is Ramirez saying that no war crimes were committed in Viet Nam? Because killing “gook” civilians is fine if it’s good American boys who do it? Disgusting.

    Last time I checked a large number of Republicans still wanted to increase our military budget. I guess having a military as big as the rest of the world combined just isn’t enough to keep us safe.

    Hagel isn’t using facts, he’s using Heritage Foundation talking points.
    
    If you put the word “some” in front of Kerry’s line, it reflects what he said. Ever heard of Mai Lai? Abu Ghraib?
    
    Hagel has said that unilateral sanctions on Iran won’t work. He’s right. Unless the rest of the world is on board, it’s a futile gesture. Hagel wants effective, worldwide sanctions.
    
    Hagel has said Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism. He voted against a meaningless bill labeling the Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization. Big whoop.
    
    Our current budget situation means we need to cut long term spending. That includes cutting our incredible bloated military budget. Conservatives complain about giving Public TV $450 million a year. That’s equal to one F-22.

    Here’s a Hagel quote from 2006:
    
    “Well, first of all, I think we have to recognize that this Iranian issue does represent a real threat to the United States. … unlike Iraq. This is a real legitimate issue. And I think, before we charge off in going off to another war — we’re in two of them now, in Afghanistan and Iraq — we’d better think through this one carefully and clearly.”
    
    Too bad Bush didn’t care to listen to this guy.
