Quotes
"Bush is not stupid, but he's smart on a very
narrow bandwidth. The time to climb
under the table is when Dubya starts
talking about his gut instinct. When he says
that he hasn't any evidence but he feels
in his gut that he's right, that's when he
tries to do something crazy, like invade
Iraq.
-- Molly Ivins
Excerpt:
[Though most of Baghdad has been looted,]
the Americans have put hundreds of troops inside
two Iraqi ministries that remain untouched
– and untouchable – because tanks and armoured
personnel carriers and Humvees have been
placed inside and outside both institutions. And which
ministries proved to be so important for
the Americans?
Why, the Ministry of Interior, of course
– with its vast wealth of intelligence information on Iraq
– and the Ministry of Oil. The archives
and files of Iraq's most valuable asset – its oilfields and,
even more important, its massive reserves
– are safe and sound, sealed off from the mobs and looters,
and safe to be shared, as Washington almost
certainly intends, with American oil companies.
"It's
about the oil..."
Quotes
"The TV companies are quite prepared to go
along with Army claims of Iraqi atrocities. When old bones
were found in plastic bags with hundreds
of old coffins, the TV cameras were quickly invited in although,
significantly, journalists were kept
away. What great PR this was for the British and Americans. The TV
and papers had their big 'atrocity'
story, and the fact that it later turned out that the bodies were probably
dead Iraqis from the conflict over a
decade ago didn't matter to them...This desperate attempt to prove
what an evil regime Saddam runs...comes
about because so far there is absolutely no evidence of WMD
- the whole reason why we went to war
in the first place. If, as seems likely, these weapons will never
be found, the Americans and British
will do everything they can to find other reasons for the war,
so expect plenty more 'war graves' and
big cans of white powder they can claim are chemical weapons."
--Charlie Whelan, prweek.com
Have you noticed how the Bush frauds framed the war?
Before the war, they said "This will be a cakewalk."
When they got bogged down and took some
casualties,
they said, "We
never said it would be a cakewalk."
And now that cities are falling like Chris
Hitchens after thirty drinks,
they're back to saying, "We
told you it would be a cakewalk."
...and anyone who says otherwise is helping The Terra.
Bush Needs Another War
In order to continue to distract America
from it's failing economy and the looting
of America by Bush's rich friends, the
Bush administration needs to fabricate another war.
Apparently Syria is his next target. The
only question is - what will his excuse be?
Marc Perkel
Oh, I know the answer to that one.
"We know Saddam had WMD, I feel it in my gut,
but since we can't find him or them,
they must be hiding in Syria, and we
can't do this job half-ass and leave like Daddy did."
Then after Syria, Bush and his Good Puppy media will say,
"Since we didn't find Saddam
or his WMD in Syria, they must both
be hiding in Iran," then Yemen, then Eqypt etc
How will the Democrats react?
"We love our Dubya..."
...and the Democrats will stand behind him, no matter what.
Quotes
"The Bush people have no right to speak
for my father. Yes, some of the current policies are
an extension of the '80s. But the overall
thrust of this administration is not my father's -- these
people are overly reaching, overly
aggressive, overly secretive,
and just plain corrupt.
I don't trust these people."
-- Ron Reagan Jr, interview
with Salon.com, ...but it still could be true
Subject: Bush
It must be driving you nuts that Bush is
doing so well and you
can't seem to convince anyone, except the
choir, to your point of view.
Aloha,
Hawaii Rog
Besides killing thousands of Iraqis, what has he accomplished?
On the worst day in American history, he ran like a scared rabbit
which
made Guiliani look positively presidential when America needed
a leader.
He hasn't found Osama, the Anthrax killer or Saddam.
He blocked the 9-11 investigation to cover his involvement.
He cut taxes for the super rich, making the Bush Recession even
worse.
He lost every ally America has besides the Brits.
He squandered the goodwill and sympathy we had after 9-11.
He almost died trying to walk and chew a pretzel at the same
time.
He holds the record for "stupidest president ever."
He destroyed the life savings of tens of millions of families.
He's dropped Clinton's nearly-12,000 Dow all the way down to
8305.
...but you say you like the guy?

Quotes
"There is evidence that this war was planned
well in advance. Sometimes this raises doubts about
their attitude to the (weapons) inspections.
I now believe that finding WMD has been relegated,
I would say, to fourth place, which
is why the US and Britain are now waging war on Iraq. Today
the main aim is to change the dictatorial
regime of Saddam Hussein...you ask yourself a lot of
questions when you see the things they
did to try and demonstrate that the Iraqis had nuclear
weapons, like the fake contract with
Niger.(a reference to US allegations - later denied - that
Iraq had sought to purchase uranium
from the west African state of Niger.), I'm very curious
to see if they do find any WMD."
-- Hans Blix

Subject: Wrong, wrong wrong!!!!!!!
bart,
I am a committed supporter of your site,
and your objectives. I click on all your sponsors,
I've gone to all the sites you sent me
to, I've signed all the support documents against the war
and Bush I could find. I've written
to the White House, I've sent Hillary and Bill letters of
thanks and support and God (no definition)
help me I've even been to the Anti Idiotarian
Rottweiler and tried to talk some sense
into Misha, and dealt in a civil and responsible manner
with all the mail from enraged right-wingers
that came to me because of my mail there.
I've sent countless emails of support to
you and your affiliated sites, sent SACK RUSH!
to everybody, recorded and sent a CD, and
sent you what little money I had, and offered
to help any way I can , and now you tell
me the" UN is a "useless organization".
Jusus H Christ!! Are you
mad ????
Get your face out of the Chinaco and think
for a minute.
...if America would co-operate with the
other 190 odd nations in the UN,
we could solve the problems that are currently
tearing the world apart.
It's called Democracy.
Wal down Under
Dude - deep breaths...
We're talking about two different things.
You're talking about what should be, I'm talking about what is.
First, if I used the word, "useless," (I don't remember that,
but let's say I did) that is an imprecise term.
"Powerless," is much more accurate. The US military has
been the backbone of the UN for 40 years,
but once the Soviet Union fell, there is nobody who can stand
up to us, so American arrogance has
decided that "we don't need no stinking UN."
The only power the UN ever had was with our planes and tanks behind
it, but Bush is on a personal
mission from Holy God to steal the world's oil and wealth, so
he says "Screw the UN."
If the UN had any power, they would've stood between our military
and Iraq and said, "No!"
But since they are powerless, all they
could do was watch as the bombs fell.
Remember the governor's quote, "Things
would be a lot easier if I was a dictator."
Florida 2000 and Diebold voting machines have granted his wish.
Quotes
"And the weapons of mass destruction?
Whatever happened to them?
I'm sure we'll find some.
They're being flown in right now in a C-130."
-- Ron Reagan Jr, who seems to be a one-man
quote machine.
Subject: More media manipulation
Bart,
In addition to the staged statue coming
down in Baghdad, here's something else that I noticed.
I turned on the TV that afternoon and caught
the tail end of Lou Dobbs on CNN, which included
a montage of celebrating Iraqis, the Saddam
statue coming down, etc. and it finished up with an
Iraqi man saying "Thank you, Mister Bush."
Later that same evening, I turned on Peter
Jennings and he was doing a report about looting in Baghdad,
and guess what clip came up? Yep, that
same Iraqi man thanking Mr. Bush. In the full clip shown within
its context it's obvious that he wasn't
praising bush for being liberated at all, but thanking him for allowing
him to loot the city! This blatant example
of media manipulation should not go unnoticed, but of course, it does.
Best Regards,
Sharleen

The Bush administration
The
uses of Osama, dead or alive
by Margie Burns
Excerpt:
There is, basically, no administration
story on bin Laden. There has been no consistent official line on his position
for
a year and a half. The White House's lack
of concern over bin Laden's whereabouts was preceded first by promises
to get him, and then by indifferent "dead
or alive" slogans, hinting that he needn't be captured for interrogation.
From the point of view of intelligence,
it is heartbreaking that the White House apparently did not simply pressure
the
Taliban into giving up bin Laden. With
U.S. power and global sympathy on their side, they readily could have done
so,
probably within a month of 9/11, and could
have learned a lot.
But dead men tell no tales
Meet the new boss...
CrimQuips
by Barry Crimmins
Excerpt:
Let's begin with a few riffs on Pentagoon
Rumsfeld's recent outburst about vases and freedom...
For starters, vases looted from museums
on the banks of the Tigris River are antiquities. Of course
the only antiquity Rumsfeld respects is
Ghengis Kahn's foreign policy. On his summer vacations,
Rumsfeld enjoys meeting with other hobbyists
with whom he helps re-enact teeming hordes.
Rumsfeld is certifiably insane. Not even
the embedded media can cover up the bad kind of anarchy
that is afoot in Iraq. Doomsday tries to
dismiss it by asking "how many vases can there be in Iraq?"
Of course the answer is impossible to determine,
now that most of the vases in Iraq have been
pressed into emergency service as urns.

“Bush and his cronies stole the election, and
everything since has gone to hell.
Yeah, I’m still angry about those [Enron]
crooks. Good people worked
themselves to death to save for their

That simple. And nobody’s gone

Subject: Went to Susan's book signing in Houston last weekend
...and I have to tell you that it was truly inspiring to hear this woman tell her tale.
There we sat, at an upscale bookstore in
River Oaks, five minutes from Bush the Elder's house,
and Susan McDougal spoke for an hour and
a half, misting over at times; not about her own
psychological torture at the hands of Kenneth
Starr, but about the wretched lives of the women
in the prisons she was in. I was stunned
to learn that instead of entertaining scriptwriters desiring
to do her life as a movie, she spends many
days visiting the jails in the cities she speaks in, meeting
with city officials, D.A.'s, and others,
working to affect change for those who have slipped through
the cracks of society.
I left with a renewed faith in truth and
justice ('the mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind
exceedingly fine') as well as a greater
determination that we MUST FLUSH these righteous
right-wing wads out of power while there
is still a democracy left to save.
Keep dropping that fat hammer hard on their
heads, brotha Bart.

Reminder:
On election night 2000, the networks had called the race for the
man with the most votes - Gore.
But the stupidest politician in history called reporters to his
luxury suite and guaranteed them he was
still going to win Florida and the national the election - even
after the networks called it for Gore.
He knew the fix was in.
Between the CIA, Diebold, the illegal purge of black voters, brother
Jeb and Katherine Harris, he knew
the fix was in so he made that ridiculous prediction that turned
out to be, sadly for democracy, correct.
The fix was always in - like with everything this clown has "accomplished."
He's extra-stupid, he's never worked a day in his life and now
he's looting planet Earth.
