Quotes
"The mind that becomes soiled in youth can
never again be washed clean.
I know this by my own experience, &
to this day I cherish an unappeasable
bitterness against the unfaithful guardians
of my young life, who not only
permitted but compelled me to read
an unexpurgated Bible through before
I was 15 years old. None can do that
and ever draw a clean, sweet breath
again this side of the grave."
--Samuel L. Clemens,
Nov. 21, 1905.
Excerpt:
The way Rumsfeld explained it, it is the
very absence of such evidence that proves Iraqi guilt.
"The fact that the inspectors have not yet come
up with new evidence of Iraq's WMD
program could be evidence, in and of itself,
of Iraq's noncooperation," Rumsfeld explained.
"We do know that Iraq has designed its programs
in a way that they can proceed in an
environment of inspections and that they
are skilled at denial and deception."
Bush's New Year Devolution
War
Bad, Economy Bad, Senate Bad
Excerpt:
We're two weeks into January and already
George W. Bush is hitting the wall. The president's
military commanders have been widely quoted
as being against the war he'd so love to wage in Iraq.
UN arms inspectors say it could take a
year to finish their work, and then only if Saddam cooperates.
The UN Security Council won't give in until
the results are in. Even Bush's one staunch ally, Tony Blair,
is dragging his feet, asking that the inspectors
be given more time.
Now come reports of a revolt within the
Senate Republican establishment. Led by John Warner of Virginia,
senators at last week's GOP retreat lashed
out over Bush's "arrogance." It's payback time for an
administration that has at best ignored
lawmakers and at worst deliberately kept them in the dark.
Blah3 reader NAILS Aaron Brown.
Bart,
I have a little experience living in occupation,
I lived under Brezhnev and Andropov,
and Gorbachev wasn't all that as it may
seem...But I must admit, this is scarier than
horror stories of Bolsheviks...
And it's sad that there's hardly no one
speaking up on our part...
I heard of some Republican businessmen
taking an add in WSJ criticizing Bush
about the possible war, that's Republicans....
Well, here's hoping to a bigger Bartcop voice, whether it's the website, or radio!

More Susan McDougal on Crossfire
McDOUGAL: The truth of it is I did
not have an affair with Bill Clinton.
Not everybody in Arkansas did, you know?
CARLSON: Oh, there must about a club of people who didn't. A small club.
McDOUGAL: But the independent counsel did question every woman in Arkansas about it. I can tell you that.
CARVILLE: Seven hundred and fifty FBI
agents sent down there to interview women.
750 FBI agents that could've been
tracking Al Qaeda, but noooooooooooooooo.
Grabbing for Clinton's cock was the MOST important thing to the
Republicans.
750 FBI agents that coukld've been
investigating reports of Saudi's on
flight simulators but they had no interest in learning how to
land the plane.
THIS is what happens when the Republicans have power.

Subject: Weapons Inspections in Iraq
BC,
Finding a couple of old, short range, empty potential
chemical or biological rockets
in cases in Iraq is as much of a reason to start
a war on them as finding a few points
of intelligence in Dim Son's intelligence test
would be justification for calling him a genius.
Or something like that....

What the Administration knew about Pakistan
and the North Korean nuclear program.
by Seymour M Hersh in the New Yorker
Excerpt:
"There is an awful lot of Al Qaeda sympathy within
Pakistan's nuclear program," an intelligence
official told me. One American nonproliferation
expert said, "Right now, the most dangerous
country in the world is Pakistan. If we're
incinerated next week, it'll be because of H.E.U."
-- highly enriched uranium -- "that was
given to Al Qaeda by Pakistan."
An American intelligence official I spoke
with called Pakistan's behavior the "worst nightmare" of the
international arms-control community: a
Third World country becoming an instrument of proliferation. "
Perfect!
The never-elected moron can't find "the Pakis" on a f-ing map!
