Whackos upset over the Toles "battle hardened" toon
Its not the illegal war of choice. Its not the many lies. Its not the manipulation of facts. Its the Toles cartoon that nails the bush admin on their recent battle hardened statements.

Nevermind the 2500. Nevrmind the 100000 Iraqis. Toles is the bad guy.

9. But just the other day, the Pentagon said we needed to learn to laugh.
They need to make up their minds. :shrug:

Pentagon to families: Go ahead, laugh
By Gregg Zoroya, USA TODAY
When the stress of the war in Iraq becomes too severe, the Pentagon has a suggestion for military families: Learn how to laugh.
With help from the Pentagon's chief laughter instructor, families of National Guard members are learning to walk like a penguin, laugh like a lion and blurt "ha, ha, hee, hee and ho, ho."

No joke.

"I laugh every chance I get," says the instructor, retired Army colonel James "Scotty" Scott. "That's why I'm blessed to be at the Pentagon, where we definitely need a lot of laughter in our lives."

10. Joint Chiefs angry over cartoon when they should be angry over Rummy!
They take time out from a war where our children are being killed and killing thousands of innocent people and destroying their land and the JC's worry about a fucking cartoon!!????

Beam me up, Scotty!
