    I don't get the connection. Again, is this good news? Bad news?

    One thing I didn't do upon seeing that was laugh. Why would that make anyone laugh?

    First of all, there is the juxtaposition of the flight suit against the fact that GWB spent a lot of time off from his military duty. Then there is the word "Hero." You see, GWB isn't really a hero, far from it in fact. So calling him one drives home this point.

    Comedy can be difficult to understand sometimes, so I welcome you to check back with me if you fail to get any other jokes.

    This is one tough guy. He's already died like five times.

    Because the guy on the right connected the Iraq War to the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001. Then, within six weeks after we went into Iraq, the guy on the right decides to proclaim the war over, even though we: 1. Hadn't captured Saddam yet, 2. Hadn't found those weapons of mass destruction, and 3. Our troops were still in harm's way. Repubs were even saying that they were going to use the image in his political ads. The reason they didn't, of course, was that the war wasn't actually over.

    I find the photo amusing, because it sums up everything that has been wrong with this president on the Iraq war. The guy went to war for his own political advantage, and it's pretty blatant that he was wrong that the war was over.

    Of course, on Sept. 11, 2001 there was no head of Al-Qaeda in Iraq because there was no Al-Qaeda in Iraq.

    By the way, whatever happned to the head of Al-Qaeda who actually planned the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks? Anybody here anything about him lately or has our Moron in Chief just decided to forget about him?

    Yeah, isn't it about time we got another one of those 'We're not sure where Bin Laden is, but we're still trying really, really, really hard to find him' stories?

    So long as W's so queer with the Five Families of the Saudi power structure, you can rest assured that OBL will NEVER be captured by this regime, let alone killed.

    I thought it didn't matter if we captured OBL or not. At least, that's what President Flightsuit said, and he's never wrong, is he?

    Lot of not-so-charming obfuscation eminating from the figurehead of the present regime on this particular topic, ain't there?
