The Boondocks by Aaron McGruder for August 16, 2010

gee, do you think the legionnaires sat around the fire and said the same of Caesar?

Ha, they would all join a non-deployable unit of the nasty guard and seek deferrments.

well, if you want to associate the roman empire with the american empire (and its hard not to, with all the parallels ) then we are screwed. but, Lew, I am trying to figure out your point- that war’s combatants have disdain for their leaders and therefore dubya and cheany should be let off the hook because it is just a common human trait ,always was and always will be ? ok, all in favor of letting these two bozos off the hook for starting a war based on an imaginary threat, stand up and be counted.

ok, all you people standing up, have some tea!

If you want a real chickenhawk war machine you’d have to add a wort, or perhaps a hairy toe, from Cheney in the brew.

Another Classic! Pricless!

Yeah, Brandon, I’m with you. As far as I’m concerned, Cheney and the Romans are just beside the point of this particular strip.

Begun, this clone war has.

Isn’t it Obama’s war now? Maybe 10,000 Joe Biden’s should be sent over there to make them wonder if America is even worth conquering.
