Quotes
"They are two different situations."
- Ari the lying bastard, when
Helen Thomas (American Hero) badgered him
about why Bush
is insisting Iraq adhere to the Geneva Convention after
Bush refuses to
adhere to it with the Taliban held in Gitmo.
"When
we torture, it's OK!
Iraq Shows Dead and Captured U.S. Soldiers
Excerpt:
Iraqi television showed film on Sunday
of at least four bodies,
said to be U.S. soldiers, and five prisoners
who said they were American.
Two of the prisoners, including a woman,
appeared to be wounded.
One was lying on the floor on a rug.
I really, really hope I'm wrong, but I doubt we'll get them back.
If there's one thing Bush does effectively, it's kill people,
so when Bush
announces that he's going to kill Saddam, what motive would Saddam
have to act part human with the POWs?
Bush's cowboy act will probably cost those prisoners their lives.
Information is sketchy, but how did we lose those people in the
first place?
I heard their convoy was ambushed, but how do you sneak up on
an army
in the flat desert when that army has satellites, night vision,
heat vision etc etc?
Our marines are engaged in fierce fire fights in the cities leading
to Baghdad.
Maybe Rummy's bragging about the mass surrenders wasn't the right
position to take publicly.
...and funny, so far, no WMD have been used.
Saddam's WMD a no-show so far
If Saddam has no WMD, does anyone doubt the CIA will plant them?
And just to make the story better, will they expose our men to
WMD?
Quotes
"Across the street from the peace demonstrators,
three employees from nearby
Advantage
Business Solutions (<- link)
used their lunch break to spread their own message.
Their sign, scrawled on a cushioned
business envelope, said ''Protestor equals
terrorist.''
''We are sick of it,'' said Scott Tidwell of
Franklin. ''They are standing here hollering
at us about First Amendment rights.
Who do they think is protecting those rights?''
--Kelli Samantha Hewett, who apparently was
arrested, tennessean.com
"But
protesting is bad!"
The Republicans keep saying that if you're anti-war, you're anti-America.
But if that's true, doesn't that mean war *is* America?
Is that what we want for our once-great country?
America is war?
Bart,
I am almost speechless with rage
over our fellow citizens stupidity.
About this idea that anti-war prostesters
are un-American and their demand
that we "support the troops". What
in the name of God could they be thinking
to ask the question? Do they think
we detest the men and women who have
enlisted with the best of intentions to
help their country and make this a better world?
Do they think we hate the country we grew
up in?
I cannot speak for the others who
engage in anti-war demonstrations, but here
is why I do it. I love this country
with an absolute passion. I treasure the ideals
that we have based our politcal life upon.
I believe that democracy is best preserved
by its faithful use. I feel that to demand
my government live up to it's highest ideals is
my duty as a free citizen. If we are to
live in a society that claims to love freedom,
as Dubya loves to say, then we must use
that freedom to hold our elected leaders to
their promises and to the standards of
deomcratic government that define that freedom.
To fall lockstep behind an unelected frat
boy is not patriotism, it is an invitation to
dictatorship. As a citizen of the greatest
country on earth I claim my rights and exercize
my responsibilities of that citizenship
by refusing to follow an unelected leader straight to hell.

Subject: Be Careful
In a discussion at the NY Radio Message
Board, the question was asked whether the Al- Jazeera network
is in violation of the Geneva Convention
by showing our soldiers captured and killed by Iraqi troops. It is
unclear whether they are in violation since
they are showing video from Iraqi TV. Apparently Drudge does
not feel that this is a violation since
he has still pictures from the video posted on his website.
Since Drudge is the favorite of our right
wing friends, I doubt he will suffer any repercussions from printing
these pictures but I am advising you not
to print these pictures. Bush would come after you and "redirect"
your readers if you print these images.
U.S. networks have declined to air the footage but Drudge feels
it is OK to show greusome pictures of our
troops being tortured. I'm sure if asked, our friends on the right
will support Drudge rather than ask for
him to be jailed, as I would. Of course, even if someone would call
for Drudge's head, the right would support
him. I'm also sure that if accused, Drudge would pull a "Limba"
and blame it on an underling.
I do not want to see those pictures on Bartcop.com.

Excerpt:
'I do not exaggerate when I say that Carlyle
is taking over the world in government
contract work, particularly defence work,'
one employee told Briody. Other Carlyle
companies also benefited, including EC&G
which makes X-ray scanners, Composite
Structures, a maker of metal-bond structures
in fighter jets and missiles, and Lier
Siegler Services Inc, a major military
contractor, providing logistics support.
Carlyle - whose high-profile investors include
George Soros and Saudi Arabia's Prince
Alwaleed bin Talal - refutes suggestions
it profits from war. Co-founder William Conway
even went on record saying 'no one wants
to be a beneficiary of 11 September.'
Jesus, did he really say that?
Bush Junior has exploited 9-11 to the nth degree, using it to
force legislation he wants,
empose secrecy like the country has never seen and crush dissent
under the guise of
being anti-American, and let's not even get into the rape of
the Bill of Rights.
Bush has been the ultimate beneficiary of 9-11, and he used the
50 approval points
he "earned" by letting 9-11 happen to enrich his crime family
and his top contributors.
Subject: Letter to Bill Maher
Dear Bill,
Your last show sucked!!!
I loved the first two and the third one
wasn't bad but please loose the timidity.
You sound like Joe Liberman out there.
If you can't be against the war and be
funny read Bartcop or something, or get
a cahones infusion.
Do what you have to do. But don't
become fucking repub lite!
Also why don't you ask Helen Thomas to come on? Give her a frickin' fruit basket.
Nancy
Nancy, right on the money.
Bill's last show sucked real bad. Tim Robbins was the only bright
spot.
But the worst part is that Paul Thompkins guy. When he does
his pitiful stand-up,
Bill's the only one who laughs. The guy's just not funny,
and I hate to pick on his physical
appearance because I'm no Clooney either, but when he speaks
you can only see two
of his upper teeth and they look like vampire fangs. Hey Dude,
if you're doing TV,
have some dental work done because that's very distracting.
Lastly, in four weeks, Bill has become a Bush apologist.
He says now that we're at war, he's behind Bush, something like
that.
That's a damn dangerous precedent, also echoed by Daschle and
Howard Dean.
Al three have said once troops are in the field, we get behind
the president.
However:
When Clinton had troops in the
field, they fucking impeached him.
If a brainless warmonger like
Bush knows all he's got to do to get Democratic support
is to place our men in harm's way, they'll stay
in harm's way forever. Why bother being
against an unjust war if you're just going to flip-flop
when the troops land?

Excerpt:
This is Freud's notorious Oedipus complex
recast in the guise of Realpolitik. If you want
the Great Mother and her cookie of world
domination, you've got to be ready to kill for it.
The real tragedy of this particular Oedipal
drama is that it is being enacted not in the discreet
context of Bush's own family but on the
international stage, in the theater of real war and real
bloodshed, and it's making the one superpower
behave, for all the world to see, like a disturbed
adolescent who is angry because he can't
get his way--precisely at a time when what the world
needs from us is real leadership, not the
posturing behavior of some neighborhood bully who
needs to prove to all the other kids that
he's the toughest kid on the block.

From: Bradley Whitford
Subject: I didn't say it!
Hey, Christian,
I just found bartcop.com
after a friend told me that there was a quote
from me supporting the Bush Administration's
disastrous policy in Iraq.
I never said it. I am horrified that
this quote has been attributed to me.
Please remove it from your site immediately
and print a retraction.
I would appreciate it if you would run the following quote on my behalf:
"To announce there must be no criticism of
the president, or that we are
to stand by the president, right
or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile,
but is morally treasonable to
the American public."
-Theodore Roosevelt
Sincerely,
Bradley Whitford
I double checked my quote source and discovered that the quote
was actually
attributed to a former West Wing cast member, not
Bradley Whitford.
This was my mistake and I'm sorry it happened.
I also think Brad handled this like a gentleman.
Again, my mistake, he did not say it.

Subject: Geneva Convention
Let me get this straight: Don Rumsfeld
says it's a violation of the Geneva Conventions
for Iraq to show POW's on TV. Yet
it's OK for CNN to show interviews with Iraqi prisoners
and almost endless loops of handcuffed
Iraqis being led away to an "undisclosed location?"
So: who's the pot and whom the kettle, and what's the color?
B-T-W, didn't Georgie want to unilaterally
withdraw from the Geneva Accords some while back,
along with all those other treaties he
said were useless? Do the Geneva Conventions still apply
to us, or did George make it open season
on American POWs?
Robin W
Robin, Bush is the biggest bungler in presidential history.
Even if he didn't formally withdraw from the Geneva Accords,
when he declared the captured
Taliban were NOT prisoners of war, he gave Saddam the option
to say the same damn thing.
...and remember, he brought those men to Cuba so they could be
tortured.
So how can he demand that Saddam treat our men any better?
Rush and FOX News say that's OK because military personnel are
volunteers.
Bush has openly declared his intention to kill Saddam, so I doubt
Saddam
is in the mood to do the right thing just before Bush kills him.
I screwed
up real bad.

Analysts at the agency said they had felt

C.I.A. analysts have faced pressure in writing

Several analysts have told colleagues they

GOP plan trims vets' benefits to fund Bush tax cuts
Excerpt:
With hundreds of thousands of American
troops poised for combat in Iraq, veterans groups
are criticizing a budget plan expected
on the House floor this week that would slash Veterans
Affairs money by $15 billion in the next
decade to make room for Bush's proposed tax cuts.
We should be outraged by this, but if the military loves this
AWOL bastard so much that
they don't mind him slashing their benefits to help the super
rich get richer, should we care?
Invariably, some nut will write and say, "Bart,
why do you hate the military?" after reading
a sentence like that, so let me clarify for those who can't understand
the typed word:
I wouldn't mind if my taxes were raised to help the veterans,
so that's not my point.
But it's like women and abortion - if they don't want to
control their reproductive choices,
why should I fight a battle if they don't care enough to fight?
If the vets love Bush and
his big-ass chainsaw coming after their benefits, should we
care?
"Cutting already underfunded veterans' programs
to offset the costs of tax cuts is indefensible
and callous," said Edward R. Heath, national
commander of the Disabled American Veterans.
"It is unconscionable to cut benefits and services
for disabled veterans at a time when we
have thousands of our service members in
harm's way."
Hey Ed, don't tell us - tell the veterans who voted TWICE for
Bush in late November and
early December of 2000. The military cheated to get the president
they wanted into office.
Why complain now that your wishes have come true?
