I Think I've Seen This One Before
SYNOPSIS OF TODAY'S STRIP
Carmen, the ultra-conservative "girl of color" with no parents, no home, no job and no education, advises Winslow, the patronizing, condescending and impulsive clown coyote, "it ain't gonna work." And lo and behold, it ain't not workin. "It" being hugs. Blam-0. Book 'em, Danno.
CONSERVATIVE TALKING POINTS TOUCHED UPON
There is nothing we want to see happen in the Middle East that can be accomplished through talking around long tables festooned with bottled water and fresh fruit at Swiss hotels, that cannot be accomplished faster and more permanently through war. But there is plenty that cannot be achieved by such gabfests that can only be achieved through war.
WHY IT'S FUNNY
Nancy Reagan's "Hugs, Not Drugs" doctrine disavowed by conservatives, embraced (if you will) by liberals.
Comments
Hey at least liberals still think about catching Osama, which W admits he doesn't do anymore.
Question: if Bush is failing in Iraq, and Iraq is the main front in the war on terror, how is Bush winning the war on terror? Oh, that's right, he's not.
It's a shame guys like Stantis equate intelligence gathering - you know, the best way to actually catch terrorists - with hugs.

Since when are economic sanctions and ongoing weapons inspections the same as hugs? It seems to me that they were incredibly effective yet non-violents tactics that kept Saddam Hussein from building weapons of mass destruction.
