Why We Must Leave Iraq

Political cartoons are not always "politically correct" and in bad taste but they are meant to be to get their point across.

Well that's what I am doing every time I call a pro-terrorist a pro-terrorist.

I'm just kidding, while trying to make a point.

I just hope you guys can maintain your sense of humor when I make one of my little pro-terrorist jokes as well as you do when you are laughing and making jokes about the deaths of US Soldiers.

It's not about being PC...when is the last time you saw a PC cartoon? All political cartoons are about mocking someone...in this case they are mocking the soldiers (especially in the first one) and I think that's some very tacky and offensive bull . The 'point' they are getting across is that the dying and wounded soldiers are delusional, clueless idiots.

I suppose you're right, it was insensitive. However, it is true that most of the supporters of this war ALWAYS hide behind the "dead hero" safety blanket. It has gotten to a point that noone can criticize the war without being accused of wishing the American troops would die. That is simply idiotic. There is plenty of ways you can read into that cartoon. One way is to find it offensive and disregard any message it may be trying to portray. Another could be that its a harsh criticism of the way the Bush administration has been marketing this war. "Stay the course", "finish what we started" in other words young American men and women should continue dying so as to make their predecessor's death less in vain. Again I'm just reading into the article.

Well, you do have a way of getting your point across and I admit sometimes I read something that gets my underwear in a ball but I get the message.

Some of you need to take a chill pill.

The cartoons are not an attack on the troops. They are a sad commentary on the roving rational for the war.

WMD's
Saddam's Connections to International Terror
Building a democracy
and now, honoring the fallen troops.

Yeah, this adminstration cares so much about it's fallen troops that it hides them by bringing them in late a night, under the cover of darkness and exactly how many funerals has W attended for the troops fighting his elective war? None.

[JoeChalupa]

I didn't take them as an attack on the troop either but I can clearly see why some do.

C'mon, Bush's writers couldn't have seen this coming after spitting out such a silly circular pla ude? They shouldn't be throwing slow over the plate if they don't want to see these.

Vision without a plan is a hallucination.
