H. Payne’s cartoon
Every once in a while a political cartoon comes along that hits the nail directly on the head; this is one of them. The Dem’s strategy in Iraq makes as much sense as forfeiting a baseball game when your team is ahead.

"The Dem’s strategy in Iraq makes as much sense as forfeiting a baseball game when your team is ahead."
So please explain, oh enlightened one, whose team is ahead? We have close to 4,000 dead, tens of thousands wounded, a civil war raging, attacks increasing daily and no end in sight.
Wow, we're really kickin ass & taking names - better not forfeit now!

Sort of like GOP's strategy of electing a failed owner of a baseball team (and other ventures) as president. Bush sent our troops to the 'baseball game' you refer to with 2 badminton rackets and 1 sun visor, with instructions to play zone defense, and has convinced folks like you that we are 'ahead'.

Posted by urawnkr on July 27, 2007 03:20 PMMoron RepubliCONS who still can't see reality in Iraq when it is collapsing all around them, and who have a name like urawnkr, are blind and ignorant sheeple.

Posted by urawnkr on July 27, 2007 03:32 PMIt would be a more apt analogy if Bush hadn't taken us to the wrong stadium, and then invited the enemy to join him. Meanwhile, back in the right stadium, the Taliban is making its own surge. One problem with Bush is that he thinks this is something like a baseball game. Those aren't baseball players getting killed, George, they are our sons and daughters. Well, of course I don't mean your sons and daughters, nor Cheney's, nor Rumsfeld's, nor Rice's.
Posted by Truth on July 27, 2007 03:55 PMAh Repugnants and their analogies that always turn out wrong. The intelligence on WMD in Iraq was a 'slam dunk', The Iraqis were supposed to meet US troops with "sweets and flowers". The insurgency has been in its 'last throes' for four years now. And now leaving Iraq would be like"forfeiting a baseball game when your team is ahead."
When y everything that the Bush administration has said about Iraq turns out to be wrong, why should we believe anything else that they say.
Truth: Since you enjoy taking analogies apart: Remember,
We do not want to be the Home Team, that is one of the most important point that you always seem to ignore.

So what you're saying is that it's somehow better that we destroy the homes & lives of the innocent Iraqi's so that we don't have to disturb your life here? By the way, why aren't you over there? And don't give me some reason about being too old. I know a Korean War vet who volunteered to drive trucks during the first Gulf War.
Meanwhile the sons and daughters of these people see the war between these foreigners and people who look like themselves, so who are they going to blame? The foreigners... US! The Iraqi War has been the greatest recruiting tool ever. Before you know it, we'll have to wipe out entire generations of Arabic peoples in order to have 'peace"... oh wait... I just stumbled on the Christian Republican plan...
