Pat Oliphant for December 20, 2011
Transcript:
George W. Bush: We did it, Uncle Dick! Mission accomplished in Iraq! Our phony war is over, and we Republicans got away without any blame - and only 4,487 of our people were killed. Do you have any regrets, Uncle Dick? Dick Cheney: About what, kid? Punk: The electoral memory is short, kid.

And I bet Oliphant thinks Obama is the savior of the Nation. No wonder we’re in trouble!

My biggest regret is what the little Bush says is true, all true. My other regret is the number of people who still don’t get why we should have any regrets.

don’t remember if it was senior or junior in office on 9-11 [they all look alike and one is no better than the other]], but anybody who can stand in front of God and everybody and say with a straight face that islam is a peacwful religion, isan idiot of the highest magnitude!

No one liked president Lincoln, but now you can see why he did what he did…same goes for President Bush…he negotiated this withdrawal a long time …and over time you will see the importance of this war. I don’t agree with how we fought it, but it had to be done.

I like this cartoon.

What about all the dems that voted for the phoney war. They had all the same info Bush did.

The late Christopher Hitchens said of GWB … “He is unusually incurious, abnormally unintelligent, amazingly inarticulate, fantastically uncultured, extraordinarily uneducated, and apparently quite proud of all these things.”

Amazing that Bush and the Republican party have any skin left in this game. Neither of them have t he country’s best interests in any of the shenanigans they pulled. Shredded the Constitution, allowed the worst terrorist attack on US soil since Pearl Harbor, gave billions to the top 1%, and ran our debt up to unmanageable levels, all the while bailing out the banks.

What is really sad is that so many Republican politicians (including several running for President) proclaim that America should continue to occupy Iraq. It’s immediate proof that they favor the Party’s interest over the nation’s.

The worst of this is there will be legions of rethugnocant drones falling out for morning formation and marching to the polling places to duly mark their ballots for more of the same.

^When you get your information from the propaganda filter of Roger Ailes, what can you expect?……………..“Ailes was a media consultant for Republican presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George H. W. Bush, as well as Rudy Giuliani’s first mayoral campaign in 1989.”………..“In 1991, Ailes convinced a syndicator to bring Rush Limbaugh from radio to television and became executive producer of the late-night show.”……….http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Ailes

Doonesbury indeed says it perfectly today, and Hitchens absolutely nailed it in describing “W”.
Welcome home to the troops! Bring ’em ALL home, from Iraq and Afghanistan. Look for war no more. THAT would be the merriest of Christmases, for all.

“Only 4487 of our people were killed”, not to mention tens of thousands wounded, hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis killed and wounded, millions displaced, wrecked economies, Iran strengthened – all on the basis of lies and deception. If that isn’t one of the biggest crimes against humanity in history, I don’t know what is? And the latest crop of conservatives/Republicans want more of the same. Make sure that gang gets nowhere near the reins of power.

Did you see or hear any Republicans welcome home the troops? there too busy screwing the middle class.

Somehow, someway, it’s gotta be Obama’s fault.

As I said in response to an earlier cartoon, Oliphant is out of ammo, out of touch, and out to lunch. Little does he recognize that the END of the Iraq war was completed on George W. Bush’s original timetable. Yeah, I’d say Mission Accomplished.

@PlainBill — right on…. was Ike who warned us of the military-industrial complex that currently seems to be of, for and by our elected officials

Dumb & Dumber.

You show a disturbing insensitivity to the killing, maiming, and displacement of countless innocent people in an illegal and immoral foreign invasion and occupation. Perhaps you should sign up for the opportunity to be killed or have a leg or other body part blown off. .And it wasn’t Bush’s or Obama’s timetable for pullout. It was a sovereign nation’s request that the foreign invaders get out.

Amazing how many ‘righties" here are moral eunuchs. One CAN hope “W”’s rocker will crunch Cheney’s battery packs, speaking of two ethical and moral eunuchs.

Everyone seems to carefully forget that Congress voted to go to war in Iraq almost unanimously.
aguirra3 over 12 years ago
News flash…we were already at war with Iraq…remember Kuwait? Iraq wasn’t abiding by the terms of surrender…thousands of sorties later he was still a threat. Problem is, we USAers stink at chess so they had to focus on one aspect WMDs …which all but a few in Congress voted for…but no..rather than let us focus on winning, the libs focussed on losing which dragged this war out. Glad being a lib wasn’t the"in"thing in the 40s or else we would be living with Swastikas today.
