Quote of the Day   John Murtha is "the reason   soldiers invented fragging."        --  who else? Ann Coulter  Link    If you don't know, 'fragging' is the intentional shooting  of a friendly soldier in the back. If the Democrats had  taken my recent advice, they could accuse Bush of letting  Coulter speak for him on this issue, but noooooo.

The Hariri Mirage: Lessons Unlearned
  by Robert Parry at  consortiumnews.com

 Link

 Excerpt:
In October 2005, a drumbeat began about Syria's presumed guilt for the assassination of former
Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri. From President Bush to the New York Times editorial page,
almost everyone agreed that Syrian security forces must have been responsible, though there was
some debate about whether "regime change" was called for. However, with little notice in the past
half year, the initial Hariri investigation has crumbled. Still, the American people have heard almost
nothing about this changed situation.

Conflicting Stories on Haditha

 Link

Excerpt:
Investigators and townspeople have said that marines overreacted to a fatal roadside bombing and shot
the civilians, only one of whom was armed, in cold blood.

Marines and their lawyers contend that they believed they were under a concerted attack, and entitled
under their rules of engagement to use lethal force against those who they believed were responsible.

The 24 Iraqis killed include 19 civilians in several houses, where, marines say their use of grenades and
blind fire was permitted under their combat guidelines when they believed their lives were threatened.
 

Blind fire?
In a city of five million people?
Where children are playing?

Doesn't sound like good "guidelines" to me...

Subject: military raping their own

Bart, you wrote:

> I think they rape their fellow soldiers as a political statement: "You don't belong here."
> The blame liberals for allowing women to serve, so they rape them to get even..
 

I have to ask: do you really think that soldiers with conservative views are so thuggish, 
that they rape women to pay back liberals for making them serve with women? 

I think men are beasts.
I think once you allow the beast out of the cage to kill, kill, kill, what's a little rape?
 

Do you really think these rapes (even one) are politically motivated?

The Pickles Bushes of the world aren't in Iraq, asserting their rights, so it's a good bet 
that a women in uniform is "one of them" and thus "fair game" for what happens to her.
 

Do you really think the Army is that poorly disciplined?  

Can you spell Haditha?
 

Do you still buy the popular myth that we recruit out of jails?  
Do you think there are that many rapists in uniform?

War brings out the worst in men, and that can get super-ugly.
 

I highly doubt this "friend of a friend" anecdote you put so much evidence in, as well.
Do you believe everything some schmuck puts in an e-mail and fires off to you?

No.
 

OK, then here's a doozy you ought to put up on your website:

"Bloggers with serious political views undercut the credibility of others who share
 their beliefs when they print sensationalist bullshit on their website."

I look forward to seeing it on  bartcop.com  soon.

- 121st Signal Battalion
 

No telling what you meant to say.
I believe those rapes occur and I believe most aren't reported.
Why report a rape if your CO is just going to tell you to "shake it off?"

For years we've heard stories that women don't drink fluids after 4 PM because they
have to leave the tent/barracks to use the bathroom and that's when many rapes happen.

Why would so many women volunteer to join the military to fabricate rape stories?
Wouldn't it be easier to not volunteer?

Sexually Harassed Soldier Refusing to Redeploy
 She's been arrested for not returning to the harassment in Iraq

 Link

 Excerpt:
Police in Eugene, Oregon have arrested 21-year-old Army Specialist Suzanne Swift for refusing
to return to fight in Iraq. Swift served in Iraq for a year but decided she could not return and
went AWOL. Not only did she feel the war lacked purpose, Swift said her superiors repeatedly
sexually harassed her while serving in Iraq.
 

Hmmm, if she went AWOL during wartime,
does this mean the GOP will run her for president?

Subject: Carlin and Coulter

What do you expect a near 70 year old man to do?

Carlin's act the last decade or so has been outrage at the stupidity that surrounds him.
He had a chance to confront one of the most outrageous sluts ever, but he went to sleep, instead.
If I remember correctly, they were supposed to be on different nights, but they were put on
the same night hoping that fireworks would happen, but again, the liberal chose not to engage.
 

The audience is obviously packed with modern day brown shirts.
How strange that in a city of as many millions as New York, probably the twenty WORST people out of
all of them showed up to cheer for Coulter, And no-one, not any of the talk show hosts from Leno to Lauer
have had the guts to call Coulter a liar. They just play nice, pretend she represents a legitimate "other" view point,
and allow her to keep lying about anything and everything.

Can't argue with that...
 

But we should expect Carlin to risk assault form the neo-nazi fans of Coulter?
It's not his fight.

*I* didn't draft him for this fight - he volunteered.
I have no control over Carlin's act - he writes it, not me.
If he's tired and wants to rest, that's OK - next time my expectations won't be as high.
 

The high point of that whole show was the musical guest, who I'm unfamiliar with  (K. T. Tunstall)
that had the old "this machine kills fascists" splashed across her guitar.
Wanna bet that was put on there special for the Coulter crowd?

Sorry to ramble on so much,

 Excerpt:
Yet hardly a day passes without signs of doubt in her party.
In a recent poll in Iowa, she came second to John Edwards.

A straw poll among the so-called Kossacks who frequent the Daily Kos gave her 2% of the vote.
 

How many hundreds of times, between now and Election Day, will they quote that Kos poll and say, 
"Polls show 98 percent of all Democrats reject her," even tho she's miles ahead of the pack?

Rove and Bush - Traitors

  Link

 Excerpt:
Shortly after Valerie Plame was outed, Joe Wilson received a long handwritten letter from Poppy Bush
expressing his "outrage at what had happened and his understanding of the seriousness of it," according to Wilson.

The elder Bush once said that "those who betray the trust by exposing the names of our sources" are "the most
insidious of traitors." How must he feel now that his son is the leader of a gang of the "most insidious of traitors?"

The American taxpayers who paid for the investigation to determine the identities of the insidious traitors deserve
to know what happened to Fitzgerald between October 28, 2005 and June 13, 2006.

Subject: Coulter on Leno

This show being on NBC, and everyone knowing what whores NBC is for the monkey,
it was obvious to me after the first applause the bitch got that the audience was clearly "salted".

Between Leno's softball questions and his  Coulter-worship attitute, Carlin's silence,
and the salting of the crowd with Coulter-whores, it was a total waste of time.

He can't leave soon enough for me.

Missing GIs in Iraq

 Link

 Excerpt:
U.S. troops searched Sunday for two missing soldiers south of Baghdad as witnesses claimed
the Americans were led away by masked gunmen after the attack that left one of their comrades dead.

A farmer who said he witnessed the attack Friday, said three Humvees were manning a checkpoint when
they came under fire from many directions. Two of the vehicles went after the assailants, but the third was
ambushed before it could move, he told the can't-be-trusted Associated Press.

Seven masked gunmen, one with a heavy machine gun, killed the driver of the third vehicle,
then took the two other U.S. soldiers captive, the witness said. The account could not be verified.

Another GOP Scumbag

 Link

 Excerpt:
A young girl featured in a controversial TV ad during Bush's 2000 campaign testified that the man
who developed the commercial molested her for years and forced her to watch porn and use sex toys.

The girl, now 15, told jurors Carey Lee Cramer — a 44-year-old political consultant who gained national
notoriety when he released an anti-Al Gore ad showing a young girl picking daisy petals and ending in a
nuclear blast — began molesting her in the third grade.

Massacre of the Buffalo Soldiers
 Why it's tough for Blacks to vote in the US - by Greg Palast

 Link

 Excerpt:
Here's how the scheme worked:  The RNC mailed these voters letters in envelopes marked,
"Do not forward", to be returned to the sender. These letters were mailed to servicemen and women,
some stationed overseas, to their US home addresses.  The letters then returned to the Bush-Cheney
campaign as "undeliverable."

The lists of soldiers of "undeliverable" letters were transmitted from state headquarters, in this case Florida,
to the RNC in Washington. The party could then challenge the voters' registration and thereby prevent
their absentee ballot being counted.
 

They can't win without cheating, so why do the Democrats let them?

Subject: the junior senator from New York

Regarding you and the junior senator from New York, your position has been easy to understand.

Not everyone can read and understand simple statements.
I say, "She's ahead by 25 points," they read "He loves her with all his heart."
 

You want to bet on Secretariat/Affirmed (pick the year or the horse).
You always bet on the best horse in the field.

That's the only logical thing to do, but logic has no place when her name is mentioned.
 

It doesn't mean you want to own it, or mate with it, eat with it, etc.  You want to bet on a winner.
Right now, Hillary is ahead of the pack.  Since it is fashionable for the beltway Democrats to dislike
Clinton (both of them) they want to cut them down.

It is time for them to pay attention to the world outside the Beltway.
Then maybe the party (and the American people) would win.

Keep hammering.

Democrats are specialists at ignoring what the people want.

Bush is sinking fast
 That's what historians say

 Link

 Excerpt:
Earlier studies used categories which had been accepted for many years: excellent, above average, average,
below average and failure. At least two of the recent articles rank Bush only in relationship to presidents who
have been judged to have been poor presidents. In other words this study is judging the worst of the worst.

Examples of low-ranking presidents are Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Grant, Harding and Nixon. A 2004 study
conducted by George Mason University in a survey of 415 presidential historians concludes that George Bush
should now be included in this list - or worse, designated as "the worst."

80% considered Bush's first term a failure, half call it the worst since the Great Depression,
more than a third said it was the worst in 100 years and 11 percent ranked his first term the "worst ever."
He appears to be a little man in a very big job.

I called the Corn Store Saturday, the bounty was in.

Back story: Knowing the day was close, we went to the big-ass supermarket 
and I got me some connas...  connes... conniesu...  I got me some fancy butter.
It was the Land 'o Lakes Ultra Creamy Sweet and Salted Butter - the real deal.

We rushed right over, and they had two kinds of fresh Bixby corn for sale.
One was Temptation, which we've had before. It's a great mixture of white and yellow corn.

They also had a brand new strain called Pearl, which you might guess was white.
They were teeny, tiny ears, some only four inches long, but I'm a gambler so we grabbed 
a dozen of each and drove back to Casa de Bart like we'd just robbed a bank.

I built a fire on the Bart Grill and threw a few ears of each on with the burgers.
When it was time to chomp, I was Pavlov-ing all over the place.

From the very first taste, I knew I was in Heaven.
I've waited 11 months for this - and the taste was perfect.

It was so good, I never even tasted the Temptation.
I enjoyed three of them with my burger and red potatoes*

Oklahoma - it's corn country, and Bixby is the Capitol.
I'm going back for more today and the Bixby Corn Festival is this weekend - Woo Hoo!.

WaHoPo Teams up with Rove

 Link

 Excerpt:
In today's Washington Post, there's a front page story about Rove and the 2006 elections. The story says:

Karl Rove emerges from the CIA leak case with his reputation scuffed, his power slightly diminished...

Most people say Rove's stature has been diminished only slightly, and perhaps only temporarily,
by Bush's political problems and the leak probe.

What do you suppose is the reason Rove's rep is only "scuffed" and "only slightly" diminished?
Here's a thought: Maybe it has a little something to do with the editorial choices that are made day in and day out
by editors at the Post and other news orgs. Incredibly, this Post story on Rove's post-Plame rep doesn't contain
a single word about the very Plame-related things that should have damaged his reputation: The fact that he played
a role in outing her and the fact that the White House repeatedly lied about it. That's a glaring omission.
You'd think Post editors might have seen fit to include such crucial context.
 

The job of the whore press is to tell lies that make the fascists look good.
And if there's room, tell lies that make the Democrats look bad.

Why Demo Websites Die  (Bart's Title)
  by Robert Parry  as seen on consortiumnews.com

 Link

 Excerpt:
People with money ...sit on the sidelines, either because they feel they can't accomplish much
or because they hope that the U.S. mainstream news media will magically start doing its job again.

Ironically, many of the people who could make the biggest difference in solving the media crisis have
amassed their fortunes in the media. They have names like Turner, Spielberg, Streisand, Reiner, Lear, Clooney.

Some have even bemoaned the state of American journalism.  There's no reason that Ted Turner couldn't put
his billions of dollars to use creating a new version of CNN.  Steven Spielberg has created moving cinematic
tributes to the brave generation of Americans who turned back fascist totalitarianism across the globe.
He could invest some of his money in news outlets that would stand up for the Constitutional freedoms.

George Clooney produced a compelling film about Edward R. Murrow and other newsmen of the 1950s
standing up to the bullying of Sen. Joe McCarthy. But Clooney could help create ways for honest journalists
of this generation to do their work and uphold the principles that Murrow embodied.

In the meantime, we are trying to raise $5,000 in the next five days.
 

Will we lose  consortiumnews.com  due to lack of funds?

Speaking for all Democratic sites who aren't on top, 2005 has been a dismal year for fund-raising..
Surprisingly, it's been much worse than 2005, a dead year when we were severely depressed.

How many Demo sites will be left a year from now?
How many Demo sites will still be here on Election Day, 2006?
How many Demo sites will be here five days from now?
