4. Cartoon featuring Rumsfeld as a doctor diagnosing a no-limb G.I. |
|
as battle-hardened.
As opposed to the cartoons the Moslem world is up in arms about. (Er, in some cases literally...)
Anyway, the Joint Chiefs wrote the paper and said, how dare you portray a wounded soldier!!
...as if that was the point of the cartoon.

11. A cartoon of rumsfeld muhammed the prophet |
|
And for 30 years the prophet called for a war, any war, but a war against somebody evil, a war that makes the prophet right to ask for a big budget allocation, given the timely incompetence. But that is the new religion of the prophet, jihad against all who oppose material empire and a worldly caliphate.
All hail muhammed the prophet rumsfeld, leader of the biggest cult in the history of silly men.

http://americablog.blogspot.com/2006/02/pentagon-trying-to-censor-top-us.htmlSeems the Pentagon Brass takes umbrage at cartoonist Toles pointing out that some troops come back in bad shape. John at Americablog.com has had some interesting comments on his site about this attempted censorship. edit - typo

Dissent must be crushed. Resistance is futile. We are Dubya of Borg.

10. That cartoon said more about Rumsfeld's spin |
|
than it did the troops. Yeesh, I can't believe those Generals writing such nonsense. This makes me fear fascism even more than ever. Some one is nuts, and I am beginning to wonder why more people don't seee it!
