Today Jeff Emanuel posted a very interesting chart regarding the differences between President Bush’s War in Iraq and President Obama’s Kinetic Military Action in Libya. I found the data to be very illuminating, and kudos to Jeff for the research and clarity in putting it together.

In fact, I thought the chart was so good that I was inspired to put it into graphic format. So below, please find Jeff Emanuel’s chart, with some graphics added to it.

Awesome! Is there anyway we can get just one full size image so we can email it around or post it to our sites?

Sure

But it won’t be animated. Also, fair warning, it is going to be a huge file. Like 900k or thereabouts I’d guess.

Caleb, I have a question

lineholder (Diary) Friday, April 1st at 4:32PM EDT (link)

that is site related. You may or may not be able to answer this.

How do you get those graphics to post? The truth being told, I’m one of those really creative kind of people who just loves to go outside the box, particularly when it comes to graphics. You’d never know it looking at some of the diaries I’ve put up, and that’s because I can’t figure out how to include them in what is posted.

Can you point me in the right direction? Anyone?

you bet

The trick is to first upload the graphic to a free hosting site, such as Photobucket or Flickr, etc. Then you simply copy the embed code just like you would with a youtube video and paste that code into the diary. It also works in comments.

Thanks!

We’re currently involved in operations in at least Indonesia, the Philippines, and Yemen in addition to the other two noted as part of the GWoT.
