Thanks! That FDR one is going in my cube this morning!

I see that maggot with the USMC shirt (I'm not going to call him a "Marine") also has on a John Deere hat. Well, at least it wasn't a Farmall hat.
:(

Thanks, Pookie! The one about George Steponallofus urging the assasination of Saddam and the one of the Cindy Sheehan circus (as well as the Gaggle one of actual questions asked at WH briefings) were my favorites today!

Pookie, thanks to the wonder of the internet, we find that George Steppingintothecoccus wasn't the only liberal wanting to kill Saddam during the Clintoon years.

Kill Saddam! U.S. journalists agree: If you can't beat him, assassinate him. (1997 of course)

Kill Saddam! U.S. journalists agree: If you can't beat him, assassinate him. Eric Umansky November 25 , 1997

The latest saber-rattling with Iraq has an odd twist: As the United States government shows restraint and revives the lost art of diplomacy, this time it's the U.S. press that's howling for blood -- the blood of Saddam Hussein personally. The press, of course, has the distinct advantage that nobody really follows their policy suggestions anyway, so their advice doesn't have to be diplomatic, or even legal:

The law:

Prohibition on Assassination. No person employed by or acting on behalf of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassination. -- Executive Order 12333, issued Dec. 4, 1981, by President Ronald Reagan, continuing the policy of his predecessors Ford and Carter. Neither Bush nor Clinton has rescinded it.

The handy (and illegal) tips from the press:

"Conventional Wisdom," Newsweek, Nov. 17: "Take him down." (next to a photo of Hussein and a downward-plunging arrow)

Thomas Friedman, foreign affairs columnist, New York Times, Nov. 6: "Saddam Hussein is the reason God created cruise missiles. ...So if and when Saddam pushes beyond the brink, and we get that one good shot, let's make sure it's a head shot."

George Stephanopolous, former Clintonite and current ABC News analyst, on ABC'S "This Week," Nov. 9: "This is probably one of those rare cases where assassination is the more moral course...we should kill him."

Sam Donaldson, co-host of "This Week," Nov. 9: We should kill Saddam "under cover of law.... We can do business with his successor."

Bill Kristol, ABC News analyst, "This Week," Nov. 9: "It sounds good to me."

Cokie Roberts, co-host of "This Week," Nov. 9: "Well, now that we've come out for murder on this broadcast, let us move on to fast-track..."

Jonathan Alter, Newsweek, Nov. 17: "It won't be easy to take him out. ...But we need to try, because the only language Saddam has ever understood is force."

Newsweek, Dec. 1: "Why We Should Kill Saddam."

Thanks, Pookie! Some great ones this morning!

Hello Pookie! Great toons today. Thanks.

[pookie18]

Thanks for that...just laid it on people in some Usenet newsgroups who were "shocked" at what Pat Robertson said re Hugo Chavez.

I had found that article just before the weekend, and we had our grandkids this past weekend. So Grampa didn't have time to post it as a thread.

When I saw your Toons and the leadoff, I decided this was a perfect time to do it.

I just sent this to my local fishwrap's editor and publisher and asked them what they said and had printed when the Clintoons wanted to kill Saddam?

That was a good move by you to post it on another forum.

Great! Congrats!!

[pookie18]

That was a good move by you to post it on another forum.

To show you what I'm dealing with, here was the first response:

Apples and oranges. None of the people you mentioned were clergymen. Hugo Chavez has not committed atrocities like Saddam did.

[Grampa Dave]

These mediots/so called journalists were supposed to report news not to protect law breakers like the Clintoons.

Supersized Thanks Poolie!!
