Cartoon: Urge to Surge 2: Afghanistan!
Click to enlarge
This is a sequel to my Iraq Surge cartoon from 2007. Just because Obama sounds so calm and reasonable (and can pronounce nuclear) doesn't make the victims of his bloody endless war any less dead or tortured.
As I was sketching this cartoon Sunday I got a comment from a reader wondering why I hadn't expressed my irritation with Obama lately. I told him it was mostly out of disappointment/avoidance, but this surge thing most certainly required comment.

Clever one, Mikhaela. I like the idea of comparing war to a product that needs to be marketed to the public, since that what wars are (especially needless ones).
So the next question I ask myself when I see the minimal change in foreign policy between Bush and Obama is: why?
The answer I have come to is that the military-industrial-prison complex has control of foreign policy, not the president. And they make money off wars.
