I learned from Gort, although he is much better at being rude than I.

Oh that IS funny. That might be one of the best statements in a political cartoon I've seen for reasons probably completely unintended by the author.

Well thank you for the compliment Sam. However I won't take credit for teaching you. Had I been the one to do that I would have hoped you would be better at it and less obvious when you do it.

Actually this is an excellent cartoon. On the surface it looks like the soldiers are marching to war for very good reasons. When you stop and think about the fact that Iraq had nothing to do with those things it makes a person truly realize how uninformed many pro-war "patriots" are. Nathan Hale would be proud. Speaking of pro-war "patriots" can someone tell me about Cheney, Bush's, and O'Really's military service?

It is a good cartoon. I doubt however Elephant actually bothered to think about it before posting it and that is the point here. It merely points out the pro war crowds predelection for acting first and thinking later, if at all.

I'm not sure that he used the word "coward" at all...

And even if he did, it would make perfect sense. A Pro War Coward would be the sort who would send people off to do his dirty work while keeping his own elitist hands clean.

I didn't make fun of you until you proved you need the evelyn wood speed reading course, although I did question whether you had actually read the cartoon or not and thought about it before posting. However since reading apperantly is a challenge for you no I am making fun of you. .
