Last week, on October 16th, I did a cartoon called "Presidential Swap Comics," that guessed what would happen if GWB and FDR switched places, i.e., Bush was president at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack. So imagine my surprise to read that our own little Piehole went to visit Pearl Harbor his own bad self!
From the AP:
White House officials drew parallels between Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 with al-Qaida's attack against the United States on Sept. 11, 2001. The campaign against terrorism was the main theme of Bush's Asian trip, and he reminded the world not to let down its guard.
Indeed, as I pointed out in my cartoon, had Bush been in FDR's place he would have ignored the real threat - Japan - the same way Bush has ignored the real military threats to American security, the real Axis of Evil - Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, North Korea. Perhaps he would have attacked countries that, like Afghanistan and Iraq, posed no danger to us, and instead gone after Mexico and Bolivia. What a meathead - I still can't believe his gang of dumb-as-rocks neocons has missed the opportunity presented by 9/11 to cozy up with Iran and Turkey - our natural allies in the Muslim world.
But that's Bush for you - attack the meek, run away from the strong. A typical bully, and a damned dumb one at that.
