Oh. My. God.

Go back and read this cartoon from April, 2003. Then read thisThink Progress post from today.

Then go buy my damn book, if you haven’t yet.

The toon:


The article:

Kristol Suggests People of Iran Would Embrace U.S. Attack, Triggering Regime Change

This morning on Fox, Bill Kristol continued to escalate his calls for war against Iran, stating, “We can try diplomacy. I’m not very hopeful about that. We have to be ready to use force.” Kristol claimed the people of Iran would embrace “the right use of targeted military force.” He added that military force could “trigger changes in Iran,” causing them to embrace regime change.Watch it.

1. Yes I'm sure they would enjoy

an invasion of American soldiers. I myself would love an invasion of Space Alien Lizard people who ate humans now and again. We might as well amuse the Iranians for a few years. :sarcasm:
edited for the sarcasm thingy just in case

[Alexodin]

2. Kristol is a PNAC thug. A domestic enemy in our midst. n/t

[redqueen]

3. why do neo-cons have any influence at all anymore?

:grr:

[applegrove]

4. Then call Australia and NZ, and stop shipping lamb for 75 Million to

Iran every single week. Just stop shipping. No guns, no missles, no kidnappings, ....simply stop sending Iran Lamb. And then see what happens!

[aquart]

6. 75 million.

Against our pathetic excuse for an army of exhausted volunteers and overpaid mercenaries.

Yeah, that'll work well.

[Spazito]

7. Yeah, the sanctions against Iraq worked well too, innocent civilians

dead from malnutrition, etc. Yeah, that is much better than killing them with guns.

:eyes:

[applegrove]

9. NOTE to self. The poor are not eating lamb. The rich are.

[Spazito]

11. There are 78 million rich people in Iran, WOW!

Seeing as their population is 68,688,433 in July 2006, with nearly one quarter of its people being 15 years of age or younger that is SOME trick, eh!

[applegrove]

31. Point is they are three times bigger than Iraq. And that is alot of

imported lamb. That cannot be easily replaced. So why not with the lamb boycott? Why not? Come to the table or find no lamb.

5. You know, I think I'll welcome burglars into my home.....

Show 'em where all the good stuff is, because its really just keeping me from my freedom. In fact, I'll welcome them with flowers and make them a sandwich and iced tea while they're here because burgling is "hard work".

[SoCalDem]

8. Well Kristol may be right in one sense.. "embrace"

an anaconda "embraces" too :) there are embraces and then there are EMBRACES

15. Kristol may or may not be insane ...

... but anyone who thinks he offers good advice has definitely gone crackers.

[farmbo]

16. Iranians WILL fight us...cause, like Kristol, they're RIGHTWING IDIOTS!

The Chickenhawks are in full-throated chorus.

[cain_7777]

29. Iranians will fight us, but they are not idiots.

Their leadership is taking a hardline position that is not to the benifit of the Iranian people, but the people will fight for their freedom against an American/Israeli invasion. Just because their leadership is failing the people it doesn't mean that all Iranians are idiots. As an American under the Bush regime that should be very clear to you.

[farmbo]

35. Point taken...the Mullahs are Idiots. Alas, they control the military.

eom

[Bozita]

17. If Kristol were a liberal, you'd never have seen a piece on Iran

His career would have ended after his Iraq blunders.

Great post!

[ArbustoBuster]

18. Mr. Kristol is welcome to cakewalk into Iran all by himself.

I will personally pay for his airline ticket and his bullets. We'll see if they welcome him as a liberator, or if they shoot him in the fool head. If he manages to drag his carcass back out of Iran afterwards, I promise not to point and laugh at him. (I'll just laugh.)

[w4rma]

19. Rethugs must not be allowed to control Congress after next year.

And it needs to be much more than a bare majority.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

20. k & r

Kristol is out of his mind, not that this is news to anyone.

[tomreedtoon]

21. Change "prophet" to "egotistical jerk" and you've got it right.

When is it going to dawn on people that Tom Tomorrow is not a liberal or progressive? He hates everybody who isn't...Tom Tomorrow!

He has reamed every Democratic candidate ever since the strip began. Almost as much, if not more, than the Republican candidates. He thinks democracy is pointless because the only person in the world who isn't an idiot is...Tom Tomorrow.

Tomorrow's strip isn't fit to wipe the dog poop off Gary Trudeau's tennis shoes.

[go west young man]

32. I beg to differ....

his stuff rocks! I guess he rubbed you the wrong way somehow but I think his cartoons are great. He's on the money with everything including the rollover Democrats he makes fun of. Mainly though he's banging on the GOP and the establishment which is what I like about him.

[MH1]

34. Hmmm...I'll check that out....BUT...I still have a TMW cartoon from 2004

on my fridge....and you can bet he wasn't reaming Kerry in it. (except, if your SenseOfHumour module has gone belly-up, perhaps you might read it that way)

26. They have been pushing this Iran psy-ops for several years now

Not just the talk of attacking but the "The people of Iran WANT a new government and new leadership" - Newt was spewing it again this weekend on MTP.

Gee how did those elections turn out? How have all the recent elections in the ME turned out? oh yeat that's right THE PEOPLE (even in Egypt and Saudi Arabia which don't have alternative political parties) have voted for the most extreme Islamic theocratic based candidates they can find. Why? because they are scared of the US invading them too.

BTW the Lieberman cartoon was awesome

33. They only have one game plan, and reality doesn't intrude on it.

Kristol is a loon, always has been, but now his lunacy is becoming more bare-faced.

[eppur_se_muova]

27. Kristol is supposed to be a source of GOOD advice???

The man known as "Dan Quayle's brain"? When has his success ever depended on getting his facts right? He's worked for ideologues most of his career. All he has to do to keep his job is keep mixing the Kool-Aid.

/on edit: I love Tom Tomorrow! This strip is an anchor of sanity in a world gone crazy.

[cain_7777]

28. These Bushites never learn

How did these people get past the second grade. Fool me once shame on you, you fool me twice, hehe, you ain't gonna fool me again. Assholes!

[toymachines]

30. kristol is the enemy

I hate this hypocritical, paradoxical, unability to cope with reality that has permeated our society.
