This particular scene shows, what I am assuming to be, George H. Bush in a western outfit on a movie screen. The quote he has reads, "Tell Saddam an' all them other gol-durned scalawags -- this looks like a rerun of a bad movie -- and I'm not interested in watching it!" this is over a completely empty movie theatre with the exception of George W. Bush as the only viewer in the audience.

This can be taken on so many levels. With the exception of the vague signature it is hard to decide who is responsible for this particular visual, but the audience is easy to pick out. It is intended to be view by anyone that attempts to pay attention to contemporary politics and political history of the US. If someone were to view this that didn't know what was going in the world and/or didn't know about the Desert Storm it is easy to see how they could get lost.

Another thing I focused on was the empty theater with Bush as the exception. This is a shot to Bush's character. It is saying he is willing to go through with these actions even if no one anywhere backs him. As a politician with the entire country as constituents, showing Bush without any support is striking and something to take note of.

The fact that this picture is a little bit comical establishes an ethos for the author and a form of pathos toward the content. The ethos comes through in that this picture is not very in your face. It's not overly offensive or graphic but it gets a point across in a cheeky and humorous way.

The sheer fact that this picture can make you smile initially is something to be careful of. Emotion in the form of frustration, possibly even anger, could be stirred up in looking at that. By looking at the scene of father to son it could possibly envoke rage that no one is backing these ideas, it's just the son carrying on the father's shortcomings.

The effectiveness in this argument is definitely there in the immediate reaction it has the potential to invoke, but overall, I think more could be done to enhance this as a whole
