   Hey bomb Grenada. We could handle that and then the troupes could relax on the beach after and catch a tan. We drop marshmallows ,chocolate and graham crackers and have a smore-war! Win them over hearts and stomachs. Love the toon Ted! The fourth construction worker was later found to have died from second-hand cigarette smoke exposure.

   I visited the “hole” back in June. If there even is a guy named Osama bin Laden, no effort will ever be made to find him, because his absence helps to keep the ongoing drumbeat towards the war on terrorism in a constant rhythm. Nothing will ever be built at ground zero for the same reason. Just lots of construction cranes swinging around in the air doing nothing.

   The lack of progress brings shame on this nation. Two years should have seen the largest building in the world on this site. As it is the world looks and sees our word means NOTHING.

   Goober in the last panel was a nice touch.

   As a speech-impeded school detention officer might punish…

   “You! Ess-ay! You! Ess-ay! You! Ess-ay!”

   As Peter Sagal said on ‘Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me’: ‘If only we’d had a great leader like Bush, Jr. to lead us in WWII instead of the lefty Roosevelt. Immediately after Pearl Harbor, Bush, Jr. would have ordered the invasion of Bulgaria.’

    I wish they’d get a move on there. I liked one of the first candidates for the new WTC: five buildings, the one in the middle the tallest. Figure it out…

    War is a great bitnez Mr.Rall! It doesn’t matter the reason, where they are, and who is killed as long as money comes out of those blood pools created by the Military Industrial Complex we will continue to be at war for many decades to come.

    I personally find it immature to want to build a super fortress or a Shanghai like superstructure at ground zero. A well inspired, plain memorial will suffice, otherwise is like a childish taunt saying, “hey my dad* is better than yours!”

    A new approach at foreign policy is what would work out better. I think Ron Paul’s advice in this regard is paramount here.

    A classic one, Ted – your trademarked absurdism, with a point. The second panel was a real coffee-snarfer (that is a good thing; it means really funny).

    P.S. Ted why is your column for this week under Rallblog but not under Columns?

    Ron Paul’s advice? Legailze Pot? How does that help? :-)

    rikoshayRabbit. when Bush equated the afhanistan war with the War on Drugs or johnson’s War on Poverty, he lost me. All are amorphous and unwinnable.

    WHAT?

    8 years have gone by and NOTHING has been built on Ground Zero? An outrage. Why, one would think over 3,000 heroes lost their lives for nothing if there is no FREEDOMTOWER constructed on that spot.

    I mean, you could still have the memorial conveniently tucked away in the basement. Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too?

    OSAMA BIN LADEN is real. Look him up on the FBI website, under Most Wanted Terrorists. He is still wanted for killing over 200 people when the US embassies were blown up in Africa. Also, how would the Bin Laden Deconstruction corp ever keep going if not for the preparing work by beloved son Osama?

    The FBI is not looking for him in connection with 9/11 though…

    9-11-01 & especially the twin towers was rigged / a lie.

    A falling object always takes the path of least resistance, always !.

    There is no way that the twin towers could have possibly fallen in the manner in which they did as a result of the airplane impacts and the resulting fires.

    The impact alone would have weaken that side more and resulted in the impact side failing before any other side resulting in the top of the tower leaning and failing/falling in that direction

    Over a thousand architects world-wide swear that the WTC was a perfectly executed planned-demolition. The mayor of Shanksville, Pennsylvania… and all of the rescue workers that examined the smoking pit say that whatever happened there that day, it wasn’t an airplane crash. The Pentagon building displayed a 16’ wide hole, until the roof collapsed. A 757 jetliner can’t fly through a 16’ wide hole. All of the burning wreckage of the WTC was roped off, no inspections were allowed, and the entire heap was loaded onto barges headed to China and Mexico. I am amazed at how many people seethe and rage against Democrats or Republicans here at gocomics when it was both parties that voted to implement the Patriot Act without reading it; 3,000 pages of pure evil; a manifesto that mysteriously surfaced within a few days of September 11th. Hermann Goering once said… “Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them that they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”

    But then again… it IS human nature to be trusting and to think that your government is there to help you. The American Constitution is truly unique in that this was the first time in human history that the foundation of law would lay upon a doctrine written to protect your rights. It is human nature to want to do a good job… regardless of your activity. I paint signs and design some very nice graphics. Ted draws some really powerful cartoons and writes some very powerful words at his various locations. What people in government do… lawyers, cops, judges, politicians… is they CONTROL. That’s how they feel all warm and fuzzy at the end of the day. If they wield further control then they feel useful and valuable. The founding fathers understood this very clearly. That’s why the Constitution was created… to keep the control freaks on a very tight leash so that our freedoms would not be eroded. George W. Bush once said… “The Constitution?? That’s just a g*ddamn piece of paper!” I ask you Parker… what has your American government done to win your trust?

    The biggest, wildest, most outrageous CONSPIRACY THEORY goes something like this:

    A bunch of crazy suicidal terrorists hijack four airliners and fly them into 3 out of 4 targets without any assistance from ground control/radar for navigation.

    Meaning they would have to look outside of their 767s trying to follow roads and powerlines to guide them to their targets.

    The US Air Defenses react by sending most of its FOURTEEN (14) scramble-ready airplanes into exactly the wrong direction. Some of these misguided interceptors take off without any missiles, with orders to RAM their targets in the mid-air.

    The most heavily guarded military object in the US of A, the PENTAGON, is attacked by an unidentified plane or missile that executes a perfect 210 degree turn while making a military-style spiral, descending rapidly to almost ground level. Air controllers tracking this plane are convinced it is a military plane because of the way it maneuvers.

    But of course, later we learn that it was simply a genius Arab TOP GUN who controlled this plane, having learned to fly in small Cessna prop craft. Even though the plane enters Washington D.C. airspace coming from the north-west, it does not target the offices on the east side of the Pentagon. These offices belong to Donald Rumsfeld and other top brass and would have made excellent targets for any enemy.

    Instead, it makes a 210 degree turn and hits the structure in the newly renovated section. This section had just been strengthened to withstand just such an attack.

    And they all lived happily ever after untill the end of their days.

    FACT: the Pentagon’s first stone was laid on 9/11, 1941.

    Well I’m very skeptical of any conspiracy theory…although I do remember President Clinton wanting to decrease the Pentagon’s budget, very much to their chagrin, several months before 9/11 occurred.
