Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 08, 2012

Unfortunately, it is.

The Republicans have proven it, no question, but what’s in it for Duke?

OK, there’s the Duke we’ve all come to know and love.

Yeah except the Democrats are in the White House. They’ll just blame it all on a movie and then not do anything.

Linguist – And I don’t like anybody very much. Thanks for posting the song lyrics yesterday. That song comes to mind occasionally, but I could only recall pieces of it. Probably last heard it on the 8-track in my neighbor’s car circa 1973. Don’t know who the singer was.

Wait, he’s got it backwards…diverting US aid comes BEFORE the American invasion – and it’s the guy being deposed who has to divert the aid. Google “Oil-for-Food Programme.”

BEST DOONESBURY EVER

Oh, oh, don’t forget the Weapons of Mass Destruction. That works! Say the new guy has them and you’re all set. Except…drat… Dubya is gone. We have a competent leader of integrity in the White House. Trff will just have to wait for another republican administration. Which, God willing, will be a long, long time in the future.

HOW WE CAN ADVANCE OUR NEW AMERICAN CENTURY AGENDA INTO OUR BRAVE NEW WORLD

Of all the stans — Afghanistan, Berzerkistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan — Berzerkistan is the next one on our “New American Century” Neocon agenda.

Just as we first gave WMDs to Iraq in order to stave off Iran, we must also first give them to Berzerkistan to stave off China, which has been attacking Tibet.

Then we accuse Berzerkistan of having WMDs and use that as our reason to invade. We can call up Gen. Powell out of retirement to address the United Nations. He can say where they are located, because we know where we stored them and have satellite photos of them. Then we can call in former Sect. of State Condoleeza Rice to warn of the “gathering threat” of a mushroom-shaped cloud.

Next, of course comes “shock and awe” with 100,000 American troops accompanied by the full complement of Marines and Air Forces plus non-nuclear missiles from our nuke-powerd subs in the Black Sea.

Instead of waiting for a "long, long time in the future", we can be in and "bogged down" in a matter of months.

Probably expect to be "bogged down" for at least ten years while President-for-Life Four-Star Gen. Trff Bmzklfrpz diverts his billions in our foreign aid, and bingo! we can do a repeat of Iraq and Afghanistan combined!

One thing though, no more photographs of our troops being brought home in flag-draped coffins.

It’s bad for morale both overseas and at home.

Um you missed the memo. War on American citizens is the GOP’s MO. That’s why they dropped regulations intended to protect Americans. That’s why they rewrote laws to benefit only the wealthiest.

And if we go over the fiscal cliff, that’ll only be because Boehner insists on not letting the taxes on richest increase even slightly. Oh for the days of the Eisenhower Republican.

Not sure why GT chose this turn of events with the GOP in the WH. Maybe to remind us of our past and our possible future, in the spirit of Dickens, Christmas past and now Christmas future. Romney is gone, but Jeb is still around and there are others… God bless us everyone!

What’s my cut? – tomorrow.

@DavyG

The Kingston Trio. They still perform it.

OK Dylan Thomas, we have had some Democrats back in the day that did it too. Can we please get off the political garbage. Obama won, live with it!

ouch

Like the Democrats are changing things. People are delusional.

Sadly, there are some people who will ignore facts and logic. There is no point in wasting one’s time to argue with them. Might as well argue with a doorknob.

GT’s treading on dangerous ground — among the suspects in the recent murder of a certain nation’s ambassador is a nation that practices apartheid

Bought the FIX news angle on everything the administration does, haven’t we.

Yeah, the Karzai model.

Just remembering 32 years ago tomorrow as I was waking up in the recovery room thinking about what the doc said right before he put me under, “Mr So-in-So, we’re going to try to save your eye.” The recovery nurse must have seen me moving around because she mentioned, “They killed John Lennon last night” I thought to myself, “John Lennon, John Lennon, where do I know John Lennon. You don’t mean the Beatle?” Me and John had a bad day that day, worse for him than me, I just got 5 stitches in my eye, and have a pupil in the shape of the state of Texas, doubt I’ll ever forget it.

This is the Doonesbury strip from that day.

…and that nincompoop George Bush fell for it!

“Obama and the democrats shall start up their own war on the United States”You scolded me a week ago for responding to political comment on a comic strip. Fair enough.But since you’re obviously politically clueless, please avoid the political strips, and stick to posting on “Garfield” where you belong.

Except allow Americans to die. Why did they blame the video? No one saw it until they mentioned it? Fishy

Let me try that one. The video was used as a cover because Hillary and crew knew they screwed up with Bengasi and people lost their lives. The cover was suppose to provide a smoke screen until the next crisis came along. When it looked like the cover-up was unraveling they pushed Susie Rice front and center to protect Hillary for the 2016 run for the POTUS and Rice’s reward for secretary of state. Also knowing when the mean old white guys questioned Rice’s credibility they would be looked at as meanies for beating up on a poor little minority girl. It was a set up lose-lose for the Repubs but the real losers were the folks that lost their life unnecessarily.
