“You can’t lead unless you’ve got courage. Nouri’s got courage and he’s shown courage over the last six months. Before that, he was a yellow-bellied, lily-livered coward.”

I’m relaunching my “Grill Rats” comic strip that I started many moons ago. I posted it to Zencomix about a year and a half ago, but I’m expanding the story and adding some New Characters. Also, I’ve improved the scanning job. Some of you readers might recognize some of the strips from previous postings. There were only a couple weeks worth, so bear with me as I re-introduce the old characters and introduce the new ones along with new story elements.The Freeper’s not gonna let that War On Halloween go with out a fight!

A Quick Study


Reporters are hereby alerted that a report on the report is here. The report on the report of the study will now be studied. Welcome to the doorway of the anteroom of the foyer of the room where the people who have decided on some decisions will now pass them along to The Decider who is still in charge of those who have been charged to advise him with advice he will promptly decide to look over while people look over his shoulder and once they are not looking, he will promptly disgard them.

The troops will pull back but not so far that Bush will feel pushed. Bush will push on and will never pull our troops off the battlefield even as he wishes he could pull news of the troops on the battlefield, pull them off the front pages of the newspapers. Bush needs this shooting war even if it only proves he has shot himself in the ass. A Global War on Terror Everything TM without bullets and blood and bombs going off must be tied to Iraq or Bush would be tied to a terror without much bang.

Um? “Whatever other cliches are currently available for the situation?“ Sob, sob:“the wisdom of the Baker group is revealed in an officially unofficial way.”

Don’t tell Murtha:”It’s basically a redeployment.“

Did somebody say base intentions?

Study Note Number One from Mike Allen (R-TIME magazine): “Bush’s aides have begun to chafe at the idea that Baker is needed as some sort of savior for Iraq.”

Governo Kulongoski (OR) just toured Iraq for two days with Governors Pataki (NY), Corzine (NJ) and Huntsmen (UT):

“I don’t think we’re getting ahead,” he said. Traveling in Baghdad has become much more dangerous than it was just two years ago, when Kulongoski made a similar trip to visit troops. He said he noticed less optimism about Iraq’s future, and he said he sees little progress in establishing a working government that can restore order.

“Anybody who thinks democracy is easily transplanted into the Middle East, they’re going in for a big surprise,” Kulongoski said.

He indicated it’s much worse than he saw on his visit two year
