Tom Tomorrow's "This Modern World" Cartoon on the Pundits who were wrong about Iraq

1. K & R for truth...

[MannyGoldstein]

2. What about the ones who became Secretary of State under Obama?

Maybe they'll be interviewed in Tom's next strip.

[L0oniX]

5. The Obamabots are coming for you!

[MannyGoldstein]

6. Would it be more appropriate to call then Obama Drones?

After all, they do tend to drone on, and on...

[L0oniX]

9. Perfect! n/t

[baldguy]

12. Which one? The Secretary of State that said the war was wrong?

Or the Secretary of State that said the war was wrong?

Unless you think nothing has happened since 2003?

[MannyGoldstein]

16. The one that said it was right, and

also the one that said it was right.

Until it turned out to be a wrong call, of course.

[baldguy]

17. They said they supported the war while they were in office as Sec of State?

That would be statements made by Clinton after 2009, and by Kerry after 2013. Which, of course, would be contrary to the position held by their boss.

Somehow I missed that headline.

Also remember: THEY WERE LIED TO by the previous regime in Washington. Are they now responsible for Bush's lies?

[MannyGoldstein]

20. No. So why do we put bank robbers in jail if

they declare their crime to be a bad idea after they're caught?

Most elected Democrats voted against the war. What do you think was going on with that?

[zeemike]

21. But you are unfairly judging them.

With standards set for the little people to follow.
Just stop it before one of the job creators gets hurt.

[baldguy]

24. So, you ARE stuck in 2003.

And you would imprison the 60% of Americans who supported the war at that time WHILE THEIR PRESIDENT WAS LYING TO THEM!

[MannyGoldstein]

26. You didn't answer my question

And you're putting words in my mouth.

[baldguy]

27. I'm not putting words in your mouth! I'm quoting you exactly!

"What about the ones who became Secretary of State under Obama?"

Which one?

"The one that said it was right, and also the one that said it was right."

The fact is no Secretary of State under Obama has said that the Iraq War was right. SENATOR Clinton and SENATOR Kerry did support the war - along with 60% of the public - while the Bush Regime was lying to them and the world about the reasons for it. They both changed their position - along with the rest of the country - once the facts about those lies came to light. That's what has happened since 2003, which you oh-so-carefully ignore.

So let's not talk about tossing Sec. Clinton and Sec. Kerry in jail unless you're going to make room for 90 million other Americans.

[Bluenorthwest]

29. One could simply stop rewarding those who were wrong while shuffling those who were right aside.

Hagel, a Republican Yes voter, is going to set a record. 16 years of Republican rule at DOD. And he showed very poor judgement when it counted.
23 Senators voted NO, they were correct and they have been shunned for excellent discernment while the wrong, the mediocre and the self serving have been handed the keys to the next war.
Among other things, it is a crappy lesson to teach our young people. Irresponsible and reckless.

[love_katz]

30. +1

Good reply.

[cbrer]

35. Gross assumption

That Sen.s Clinton and Kerry were as well informed as the general population.

One would believe, at their level of clearance, that they would have access to much more relevant information at their disposal. Kinda' changes the decision making process, or at least the means of arriving at one.

Politics and popularity come into play. No one is innocent here.

[awoke_in_2003]

31. Of course not...

Kerry and Clinton only came out against the war they both voted for during their respective runs at the presidency. Kind of like felons who find Jesus in prison.

[Paladin]

10. K&R. (nt)

[HughBeaumont]

11. K & R, although in the fifth panel, Tom spelled "LIED" wrong.

And yeah, it's a great illustration why we should never listen to these old white bastards on pretty much anything EVER.

[baldguy]

13. led: (verb) - simple past tense and past participle of lead.

[Blue Owl]

15. Lied... Led... those are mutually inclusive terms for today's Republican

n/t

[Solly Mack]

14. K&R

[HomeboyHombre]

18. I wonder whatever happened to Judith Miller.

Probably pulling down six figures working for the Koch Bros.

36. Hah! Of course . . . nt

[deutsey]

37. Wow...she doesn't even try to keep up the facade, does she?

It must be nice not having a conscience. The world's a more carefree place for those who lack one, it seems.
