The cartoon is based on remarks that Rumsfeld made last week. In rejecting warnings by a Pentagon-sponsored study that the Iraq war risks "breaking" the Army, he said the US military is "battle hardened" and an "enormously capable force." At the bottom of the cartoon, in smaller type, Rumsfeld says: "I'm prescribing that you be stretched thin. We don't define that as torture."

For those that didn't quite catch this phrase in the political cartoon, it is in reference to "the thin green line" that the Pentagon report used to depict our current on-the-ground army troups in Iraq. Green = Army.
