In this political cartoon we see President Obama guaranteeing that the troops will be home by 2011. You also see that as he speaks Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is crossing out the date that was said that the troops will be back which is in July 2011. You also see that as Secretary of State crosses out the date Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates writes "probably not".
Glenn McCoy drew President Barack Obama wearing a military suit which show that he has all the power to decide whether to bring troops back home or to stay in war. In my opinion the message that Glenn McCoy is trying to say through this political cartoon is that is not for sure that war will eventually come to an end. As President, Barack Obama has promised many things but haven't accomplish them.War was one of them, he has all the power to end war if he wanted too but yet he decides to send even more troops to Afghanistan. Does the surge of 30,000 troops in Afghanistan mean that war will eventually come to an end and troops will be back in 2011 or there is no prediction when the troops will actually come home.
