There is no proof

There is absolutely no proof that the policys that were put in place to protects our nation from the terrorist in Iraq and its ally Iran were illegal and against the law. Dick Chaney himself stated that they were effective and that they saved thousands of lives from the terrorist threat. You liberals weren't there, so you don't know the kinds of threats that our brave men had to overcome in order to capture intelligence from the enemy. Maybe if more of you had a military background, like Dick Cheney, you would understand the dangers we are facing in the War on Terror. This is a battle of the forces of good, Christian, against the Fascist-Communists over there and those who have infiltrated our own government.

Re: There is no proof

Wow...
Deane,
I really hope you were saying those things ironically, because I don't think that you got one thing right.
For one, up until the war we started with Iraq, the Iraqi government and the Iranian government were, if not at war, were definitely not allies. During parts of the war, the Iranians were supporting the Shias, as they fought against the Sunnis and U.S. troops.
Two, Dick Chaney never served in the armed forces. In fact he avoided the draft using his family's influence to do so.
Three, of the advisers and interrogators that were sent there, most were in agreement that they were able to get more true information from peaceful interrogation techniques than from torture.
And four, Fascism and Communism are opposite sides of the socialist philosophies. You cannot be a fascist communist, it's an oxymoron.
By the way, who ever said that Christians were good. Besides themselves.

See

This is a typical Liberal-Socialist-Fascist response. There is no logic or reason used, only veiled responses that do not answer to the issues. The American People are the real judges here, and they know that the War President's decisions were for the good of our Great Nation. They also know that the UNITER President was one of the greatest presidents ever, akin to the decisions forced on another great President, Abraham Lincoln. He is not divisive and shifty like the current president, whose grounds for decision making change from day to day.

I have often thought of

I have often thought of myself as a socialist/fascist. My right head is a fascist and my left head is socialist. Last Tuesday they both agreed they'd become sociopath and just for the day, switched.

Boy that Cheney one is scary....

Its true we have been rather safe over the past 7 years, but hopefully we did not sell our souls to get that way. And we have to start looking forward so we can improve things.

Lame.

Brodner's drawings are ugly. His ideas are not very interesting, and not especially funny. And "cartoon du jour" sounds like elitist wannabe French (wouldn't the French, with their desire to keep anglicisms out of their language, actually call the "cartoon of the day" the "caricature du jour"?).

Is this the best MoJo has to offer in this regard?
