Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for June 30, 2012

Good idea, nothing’s happening in Syria…

Syria hired Russia and China as its mouthpieces while Duke was distracted.

In response to your comment yesterdayy – it is quite well known that, unike most cartoonists, GT normally works to a one week lead time schedule, and sometimes, even shorter than that.

Ease back in at the Syria desk…good luck.

Good choice. Some intelligence and some guts needed there.

ah, now the choice of another visit to this rerun makes sense. nailed it again Mr. Trudeau!

Ha ha ha. If the dates are right on this, we now know why Syria is in the news now. Mr. Trudeau maybe knows an actual ‘Duke’ ? Of course in the mid-east these days it’s sort of pick a country any country. He sure called it in any case.

Ha ha, things are about to get dicier for Assad and he don’t even know it, he’d be better off sticking with Putin.

Syria’s in full-fledged civil war.Putin gave way on Iran. Putin gave way on Libya. Putin’s not giving way on Syria. He thinks it’s the US turn to give way on Israel.

How many times is this story going to be reruned?

Note: Israel has the best air force in the world and neutron bombs. May be a better idea for us to hire them as OUR police force in the area. Although they will be doing it without charge before too long.

Attack on Iran would officially start World War II.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I assume you meant, WW III , which has already started but people don’t realize it. And you’re correct that a full scale attack on Iran would precipitate an all out conflagration. As it is, the U.S. Russia, and China are fighting a proxy war. And not just in the Middle East.

I’d comment on this strip, only I’m on vacation and this remark is just a fill-in.
