Cox and Forkum
Good cartoon today from
Cox and Forkum:
They also do a bit of the backstory behind each cartoon and today's comes from a news item in
The Times of India reporting on an Agence France Presse story:

US marines bomb Fallujah mosque
US marines pressing an offensive in this Iraqi town west of Baghdad bombed a central mosque on Wednesday and killed up to 40 insurgents holed up inside, a marine officer said.
What caught my eye was this comment from the head of the Marines First Division, General James Mattis:
bq. "If they barricade themselves inside a mosque, we are not going to care about the mosque anymore than they do."
Yes - more faster please!
