Gaza Moves Into Israel?
I first read this story on DEBKAfile. The specific story is here. I was shocked and angry. Which meant that doing a cartoon was really difficult! When I say "doing" I mean writing it. The drawing is just fun. The writing is often difficult ...as it was in this case. I wanted to make people laugh.
I wrote script after script.
I searched every detail of the story to find a "hook".
Exasperated, I finally began to play with Condi's role as "broker" and came up with the above cartoon.
As an afterthought I added the title.
To be bushwhacked means to be attacked from a hidden place, to be ambushed.
Appropriate ...and a final pun-like tweak to the 'toon.

This developement does seem ominous.
Ouch! and LOL. Well done.
I'm in Texas & it made me LOL! Loved the play on words.
You took a rotten situation and did your job very well.
Did she and the Clintons finally leave? I hate what they did to the traffic! http://shilohmusings.blogspot.com/2005/11/on-roads.html
Could we get some staunch anti-imperialist in the Knesset, like maybe Azmi [Esme`?] Bishara to propose a bill limiting visits by US Uppity Muckety Mucks to the month of Ramadan, when the traffic probs caused by the US High Muckety Muck would merge here in Yerushalayim, Ir haQodesh, with the Ramadan traffic snarls. And then, as the Dishonorable Guests get snarled in traffic, we could all go and snarl at them.
I'd be a little nervous about basing too much on a DebkaFile story. They have a history of running very alarmist stuff, often based on rather flimsy (and never identified!) sources; they also have a history of never admitting when they've run a story that turned out to be untrue.
(They also have a history of taking stories from "open" sources like Jane's Defence News and running them as "exclusives" from "DebkaFile's intelligence sources". In short, these guys have fairly low journalistic ethics and credibility.)
If DebkaFile stuff were always accurate, Israel would have been destroyed seven times over by now.
Like I noted under the Gaza Road toon:
With friends like that, who needs enemas?
'the one I broke bread with has turned up his heel against me'
It seems like PM Sharon has morphed into a trojan horse politician since his wife's passing...with Eddie Haskell's help!
