Okay. . .who wants to vomit. Check this out from Rightoons.com
Check out this major case of asshole-itis.

WTF? Comparing WW2 to Viet-Raq? These people are really stretching here. It's like they are celebrating death and the war based on out right lies and conjecture!!!

This cartoon is a great way to support the troops, right?

1. Repubs don't want a comparison of the war on Iraq with Vietnam,
but they want it to be seen in the same light as WWII?

I don't think I can stomach much more of these lunatics.

2. the cartoon suggested FDR wanted out when in fact
he was all for the surrender of Japan.In Vietnam things were different
it was the people calling/protesting the end of that disastrous war.
I remember Nixon expanded the arena into Cambodia and Laos.Same applies to the current war.The bush crime family desperately want to
continue the fight at all costs while now the majority of Americans
have soured on the fight.
I often say their are 30% of Americans with blood lust and an appetite
for war any kind,just or unjust give me a gun and point out the enemy.
Im sure during WWII our country had a 90% or higher support from the people,not with Iraq.
After 911 even I supported Dimson the idiot King,hell I was ready to
go kill arabs any arab would do.I was proud to be an American but as
the weeks and months passed I learn in Dec.01'troops had Osama surrounded at Tora Bora,stupid george allowed Osama to escape and soon
turned his eyes toward Iraq,thats where I got off the bush express.

3. I took it as an insult to those of us who think we should get out of
Iraq now. I think the illustrator is trying to say that the war in Iraq is as "just" as World War II.
There's no comparison to be made, in my opinion.

5. absolutely contrary1! bushco and the PNACers are
very busy making comparissons between WWII and the so called GWOT. equating pearl harbor with 9-11 and hitler w/ saddam is a fairly popular pasttime with RW writers of LTTEs around here. it's pretty laughable.

7. Remember
Richard Clarke said attacking Iraq after 9/11 would be like attacking Mexico after Pearl Harbor.

8. Actually that's kinda funny...
Right after 9/11 I was thinking Reichstag, but then again, I'm both a cynic and paranoid. Yes they are out to get me. ;)

4. Two BIG differences....
1. We didn't start WWII
2. We had a plan to end it

People who compare Iraq to WWII are either history challenged or desparately covering for the Republican party. Usually the latter.

They screamed the same thing about Viet Nam.
That if we pulled out the entire hemisphere would turn commie. We had to stay the course.

We left and nothing happened.
