[...] I take it all back. Funny, lovely to look at, and with just a hint of “Jews control the world” whimsy. A true achievement, notwithstanding the fact that the narrative basically breaks down three-quarters of the way through. [...]

[Shuddering in the fetal position]

I’m not sure what was most disturbing – the Teletubby laugh track, the dwarf hippo Barney, the backwards-Arabic voiceovers, or the persistent jazz sitar soundtrack.

If that cartoon is seen by one more unsuspecting American, the terrorists have already won.

This stuff is Gospel in the “State Run Schools” and “State Run Media” of the Middle East……..

“Mother’s Milk” to the next wave of terrorists……. no joke.

And our MSM sits on it…… I wonder what would happen if the cartoons identified “Uncle Sam” as a Democrat only, and feared the “Republican”????

Any wailing call or banshi cry, CNN?

Did you notice however, that all the U.S. soldiers were equipped with body armor?

Out of curiosity, if we control the suicide bombers, why don’t the muslims condemn suicide bombing?… Or am I missing some logic step here?

Just looks like DU commentary presented in a cartoon format in Farsi. With a really annoying laff track and cheesy looped world music.

I thought the music was kinda zippy…. *shrug*

But anyway, I’m still trying to figure out what’s up with the one with the dog…?

What about the one where Boush falls over after watching TV? An accurate observation that the MSM is one of the things taking us out, along with a boxing-glove-in-a-box?

The suicide bombers were all jews. The huge noses are the give away.

I would think that the reason america is going nowhere on the treadmill is because in the cartoons view the jihadists are defeating us.

Er, yes, I understand that. I’m just saying, it’s not an especially useful analogy unless they explain what the conveyor belt’s supposed to be.

Eh, all I get from that conveyor belt is it’s simply “a road to nowhere” metaphore concerning US victory. Bush can lead the troops towards “victory” as long as he wants, but he’ll never get there.

Of course, it’s not so much conveyor belts that are our biggest obstacle…

Allah, I believe that “conveyour belt” is meant to represent the endless road to victory fo the US. The sign saying VICTORY pointed that way, and Bush is seen leading his troops on a treadmill (endless loop) towards that victory, to which they will never arrive…like marching on a treadmill, and going nowhere.

Didn’t we already learn this week, from THHNH, that if a joke has to be explained; its not funny?

What was up with the musical score there? Awful. Boring.

This would have to rank just slightly below “An Inconvenient Truth” on the ol’ Snooze-o-Meter.

But yeah, their humor needs a bet of work…Apparently, Islam does not allow laughter?

Yeah, the soundtrack was hypno-elevator. The moral inversion despicable. But the Boush caricature was actually more flattering than most I’ve seen in the American media.

Thank God we’ve got the .5HNH.

Apparently the suicide bombers are all under US control. Who knew?

We should just tell our guys to stop doing that.
