He drew Pat Tillmann as a racist, bloodthirsty thug eager to get to Iraq and Afghanistan to kill Arabs.
He's also been a jackass for other reasons.

Here is his apology for that incident:

That has been a while ago, but, yes, he was wildly wrong.

And most of them put together wouldn't be worth as much to our country as one Ted Rall is.

Lighten up a little, he's a cartoonist. The man shows us how ridiculous we are, and does it in a very funny way.

training, so it isn't exactly a chemical weapon in the same category as stuff that will kill you.

It is a handy democracy repellant for tyrants though.

All information today indicates that we don't really know.
The White House has admitted that their entire case is based solely on "Common Sense".
They have NO PROOF.
They have NO "Smoking Gun".
