I see this toon a little differently. It points out the Republican/anti-Obama vitriol over incidents in Benghazi, where four Americans were killed by a mob in an unstable country with a known hatred toward America and the west, vs. the minimal grief given to the last administration for allowing 19 foreigners to kill over 3000 Americans on American soil. The contrast is startling.And if you have any reason to doubt how immensely catastrophic was the “Coalition Provisional Authority’s” control of the first year of the occupation, read “Imperial Life in the Emerald City”. It will make anyone embarassed to be a Bush supporter. It’s as though they went out of their way to make us appear as unwelcome and as worthless as our enemies imagined.Did you know that Bremer had $12 BILLION in cash to distribute anywhere he thought it needed to go? They loaded it by the forklift-ful onto transport planes. All that money was gone after about 10 months. Asked in Congress where the money went, Mr. Bremer blamed Iraqi accounting practices. And no one challenged.How times have changed: when people went to Bush town halls with signs whose subjects disagreed with Dubya, they were arrested. When Obama had town halls after the election, people stood around outside with guns strapped to their legs. I can just imagine if I had tried to “demonstrate my Second Amendment rights” at a Bush photo-op.
It is an extreme insult to confuse THAT “Senor”(Dan) with our friend Bullwinkle. It is also an insult to all who’ve died in Iraq and Afghanistan, including many of my, and my son’s, friends, as well as an insult to our late Ambassador and staff, to even suggest a comparison between Benghazi as a “failure of the administration”, with our idiotic invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.
Dan Senor IS another who should be on trial for his life in den Hague. (and under justice, he should LOSE! along with the other three depicted)
Hypocrite would be a good word. Also read Fiasco and Prince of the Marshes to understand what went on,not just rely on FAUX news and misremembered news items from 11 years ago.
It makes no sense to me that anyone would vote for any republican in this election. And it hurts to know that Romney might actually win for no other reason than “he is not Obama”. Please show that you have some respect for the sacrifices our vetran made and base your vote on something more than spoon fed idiocy from people like Hannity and Maddow.
