Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for July 17, 2013
Transcript:
Roland: But the war's been worth it. Don't you think, sergeant? Mel: Well, that's hard to say, sir. Roland: Damn... Same lame response from everyone. Maybe I'm just not asking the right question. If we lose, it's Obama's fault, right? Mel: Again, hard to say, sir.

I think there are many hundreds of thousands of people that would disagree with you.
Unfortunately, they can no longer speak…or breathe.
TheSkulker over 11 years ago
Actually, that isn’t quite true either – some people still can speak but would have an opposite opinion –
namely the Chennys, the Roves, the Hallibutons and their ilk.

To define win or lose we have to define what we’re there to do, which as never been clearly stated.

Typical of Fox News, Huffington Post or any of the other “Media Mercenaries” Ask the question in a way that it ensures an answer that validates the political spin preferred.

Tigger, they are on a plane full of soldiers coming back from the war. The report would just be Roland just slipped and fell, maybe even out of the plane.

Methinks someone has missed the point…While Bush was President, according to the liberal extremists: If it rained, it was Bush’s fault. If it was too hot, it was Bush’s fault. If it was too cold, it was Bush’s fault If they were late to work, it was Bush’s fault. If they couldn’t find their glasses, it was Bush’s fault. If the car had a flat tire, it was Bush’s fault. Etc…Etc…Etc… Now the shoe is on the other foot and Obama is in the big chair.Point is, both sides are responsible, but all they are able to do is point fingers, cry when they don’t get their way and complain. WAHH!!!

“While Bush was President, according to the liberal extremists:If it rained, it was Bush’s fault. Etc.”.And the cons screamed bloody murder if we dared say that bush was responsible for anything except the abundant good he did for us.

Well, I’m glad we finally agree on something.

When I got back from my war, anyone sticking anything in my face would have elicited a strong emotional reaction from me. But I was also quite ready to express my opinion on the war: GET OUT NOW.
kaffekup over 11 years ago
And your own posts, as well. Perhaps far better.

By saying “we,” are you telling us you are an employee of the RNC?

“I wish we could come up another form of population control that didn’t cost so much.”
I could think of a couple we already have but the war mongers are busy eliminating them — more warm bodies for their war industry.
Mitchtheone over 11 years ago
LMFAO No, the Trilateral commission is real.
And so is Sana Clause….
IamUnique1 over 11 years ago
Yes, I am very nearly new to these parts. Still I only asked a question unaware, as I was, that it has been asked numerous times before in previous weeks. It has never worried me to look foolish, it happens to us all at some stage.
