Quotes
"We are in the process of helping them implement
a strategy which is was described to us
in Aqaba as to how the Palestinian
Authority want to reconstitute a security force in order
to make sure the terrorists, the haters
of peace, those who can't stand freedom do not have
their way in the Middle East."
-- Too stupid to be
president, Kennebunkport,
Maine, Jun. 15, 2003,
Excerpt:
Six months after arriving in Kuwait and
almost three months after entering Iraq, they were ready to go home.
Then they discovered that, at least from
a soldier's-eye view on the ground, there seemed to be no American
plan for a postwar Iraq.
The mayhem that followed the collapse of
Mr. Hussein's government on April 9 has thrust them into a new mission:
keeping peace, even as their weary minds
and bodies are still at war.
"You call Donald Rumsfeld and tell him our sorry
asses are ready to go home," Pfc. Matthew C. O'Dell,
an infantryman in Sergeant Betancourt's
platoon, said as he stood guard on Tuesday. "Tell him to come
spend a night in our building."
"Kill
that coward and bring his head to me at the Oval Office"
Quotes
"I think that freedom is a powerful incentive.
And I am -- I believe that someday freedom
will prevail everywhere, because freedom
is a powerful drive for people to -- and it's the
beginnings of people expressing themselves
toward a free Iran, which I think is positive."

9/11 Detainees' Treatment Casts a Deep Shadow
Excerpt:
Before the report's release, Ashcroft repeatedly
asserted that at no time were the rights
of the detainees violated. He told the
Senate Judiciary Committee on Dec.6, 2001, that
"all persons being detained have the right
to contact their lawyers and their families."
That claim was false.
The inspector general "found that the Bureau
of Prisons' decision to house Sept. 11
detainees in the most restrictive confinement
conditions possible severely limited the
detainees' ability to obtain, and communicate
with, legal counsel."
To me, it seems like a mistake for Drew Barrymore to hire Demi
Moore for CAII.
Side-by-side, Demi's ten-age points out how painfully plain-looking
these new "angels" are.
Quotes
"And in the meantime, before that state is
established, it is clear that the free world,
those who love freedom and peace, must
deal harshly with Hamas and the killers.
And that's just the way it is in the
Middle East."
--Much, much, much too stupid
to man a French fry station at Goober's restaurant
Excerpt:
"It was well known throughout the intelligence
community that it was a forgery," said Melvin Goodman,
a former C.I.A. analyst who is now at the
Center for International Policy.
Still, Mr. Tenet and the intelligence agencies
were under intense pressure to come up with evidence
against Iraq. Ambiguities were lost, and
doubters were discouraged from speaking up.
"It was a foregone conclusion that every photo
of a trailer truck would be a `mobile bioweapons lab'
and every tanker truck would be `filled
with weaponized anthrax,' " a former military intelligence officer said.
"None of the analysts in military uniform
had the option to debate the vice president, secretary of defense
and the secretary of state."
Subject: WMD
Dear Bartcop,
Great page. Read it every day.
Thought you would be interested in the fact
that any mention about WMD
has moved to page 18 of the Washington
Post today.
Tomorrow it will be gone.
What did we do to deserve this?

Dr C,
Mostly, we refused to fight in late 2000.

Rebuilding Iraq Proves to Be A Gold Mine for Middlemen Ex-Soldiers,
Diplomats Open Doors And Broker Deals in Chaotic Region
by Greg Jaffe of the Whore Street Journal
Excerpt:
Mr. McClelland supplied the company with
the names of 15 senior military
contracting officers in Kuwait, the U.A.E.,
Oman and Qatar. Mr. McClelland
also gave 3M a list of names of local executives
from companies such as Bechtel;
Kellogg, Brown & Root and military-supply
firm DynCorp, many of whom are
former officers Mr. McClelland served with
in the Gulf. Soon after Dr. Hoeller
arrived in Kuwait for the Bechtel conference,
he met a senior military officer,
one of Mr. McClelland's contacts, who complained
about a lack of Post-It
notes in Iraq. Within days, the military
had put in an order for Post-Its,
electrical tape and multimedia projectors.
Hey Bart, please post this information because it needs to get out there:
These two guys are in charge of the committee
to take a look at whether or not
GW lied about WMDs. This ‘look’ will be
behind closed doors and you know,
if the BFEE had their druthers, behind
closed doors is where it would all remain.
Sen. Roberts, chair, 202.224.4774
Sen. Rockefeller, co-chair, 202.224.6472
Call them. Let them know that an investigation
as important as this one should not
be held behind closed doors. That the
public has a right to know to what extent GW lied.
Let them know that you can barely contain
your anger.
Then, call your congress critter.
(Mine said that he hadn’t received a lot
of calls about it. Shameful.)

The
Road Map to Peace
by Richard Fricker
Excerpt:
Just because you can lie yourself into
a meaningless military invasion proportional to
Slipperyrock playing the Green Bay Packers
does not mean you are smart or even lucky,
and it damn sure does not mean God is on
your side. It can, however, provide a rather
exaggerated view of one’s self.
What brought to mind Jerusalem of 1993 wasn’t
the “roadmap to peace.” It was Sharon
making Bush his personal bitch barking
threats of “war on terrorism” to the Palestinians,
then provoking more violence with helicopter
attacks on the Hamas.

Former
security advisor says Bush failing to counter terror threat
Maybe if he spent less time on vacation
and rewarding the super-rich...
Excerpt:
A top White House anti-terrorism advisor
who quit five days before the start of the Iraq war
has accused Bush (R-Not Elected) of not
doing enough in the fight against terrorism.
"The administration wasn't matching its deeds
to its words in the war on terrorism," said Rand Beers.
Beers also said that the war in Afghanistan
was a job abandoned at the halfway point and not enough
military resources have been put into the
country.
"Terrorists move around the country with ease.
We don't even know what is going on.
Osama bin Laden could be anywhere in Afghanistan."
Excerpt:
Every day there are new revelations from
intelligence officials that the evidence was manipulated to scare
the American people into a war that the
Associated Press conservatively estimates killed 3,240 Iraqi civilians,
a figure culled from the records of 60
of Iraq’s 124 hospitals. "The account is still fragmentary, and the
complete toll – if it is ever tallied –
is sure to be significantly higher," the AP reported. [AP, June 10, 2003]
In light of that carnage and the continuing
bloodshed, the reaction to Bush’s WMD deceptions can be seen as
a measure of how enfeebled the U.S. political
system has become. Will the American people demand serious
answers from Bush and his administration
over what New York Times columnist Paul Krugman calls "the worst
scandal in American political history,"
taking the nation to war over a series of lies and distortions?
Or will the "feel good" presidency roll
on?

Bush is borrowing money to give to his richest contributors.

Quotes
"Well spank me with a haddock and call me Maureen.
Who could possibly have predicted this?
It turns out that "Halliburton's contract
to restart Iraq's oil production has doubled in cost over
the past month, and the no-bid work
may last longer than expected," according to the AP.
Oh, and while the Army originally said
that a new contract would be awarded through competitive
bidding by August (since Halliburton
got the gig without having to compete) they've suddenly
changed their minds. You know, I'm
stunned. I would never in a million years have guessed that
Dick Cheney's former company would
somehow manage to get a non-competitive, open-ended,
no-ceiling contract to rebuild the
country that their ex-CEO just destroyed. I mean, how could
an administration of such honor, ethics
and integrity possibly allow this to happen?"

Stalkers
My stalkers are a stupid lot.
All they do is live and breathe bartcop.com
unlike any fan ever would or could.
It's hard to believe anyone would spend the time obsessing over
a comedy site the way they do.
A recent favorite of the stalkers is when they sign me up for
all these wacko lists.
The thing is, almost every list in the world sends out an e-mail
saying,
"You must click here to confirm your subscription,"
which I never do.
Thery generally come in a half dozen at a time, and they're all
together, so it takes about once second
to turn them blue and hit "Delete." Their other new favorite
is snail mail suibscriptions to the PO Box.
They, too, come in bunchers, and they're all the same, so it
takes about two seconds to dump them
in the trash can the Post Office puts by the table in the lobby.
The puzzling part is why these stalkers would take the time to
sign me up for all these lists
and newsletters when it takes just a second to dump them. It's
gotta take at least a minute
per subscription to sign up, which means they're working 30-60
times harder to "harass" me
than it takes to laugh and dump their work in the trash.
But, I guess they feel closer by doing that.
Certainly, they are sexually molesting themselves all the while
they are "stalking."
It really makes no sense...

Quotes
"While Bush and his aides continue to insist
that weapons of mass destruction will
be found someday, their promises are
growing vaguer and their excuses are becoming
less believable. What protects the
White House now, as the media begin to ask questions
that would have been more timely six
months ago, is the timidity of the Democratic opposition."
--Joe Conason

I had heard something about a recall (impeachment?) of California
Governor Grey Davis,
but I didn't know any details so I asked my good friend
Jim Higdon to explain it.
The Recall of Grey Davis
Excerpt:
The primary allegation against Davis is
that he "lied" (that word that is only allowed to be used in the media
when it is applied to
Democrats) to California about the state
of our current budget crisis. Of course this is an allegation that
can be leveled against any
Governor in the US because no one predicted
(with the exception, of course, of myself and anyone else who pays attention
to right wing
politics) that Bush would purposely trash
the US economy, and turn off required federal funding to the states.
Add to that Davis' having to
deal with Bush/Cheney/Lay skullduggery
in severely overcharging California for energy which Attorney General Crisco
refuses to prosecute.
Much better to go after Martha Stewart
because she's has a disagreeable personality and she is a large contributor
to the Democrats.
Criscoman is always clear in his goals.
Crime is okay as long as the Bushistas get their cut.

"Elements of the press corps became tools of
the right wing, of republican congressional staffers
and Ken Starr and his office. They
deluded themselves into believing they were somehow being
brave and independent when they were
actually acting as arms of the Republican right and they
can't come to terms with it now."

I've been getting mail written by people too angry to make sense.
Some read like this:
If you were going to shoot all the people
who perpetrated 9/11, the majority would be Americans.
And if you started along that path,
you’d be like the Nazis who stood people in a line and shot them.
Once you start, the list is endless.
One last thing- if you really want to
see who’s in touch with the majority position on this issue,
monkey mail my letter, and see ask your
readers what they think. But wait, that’s right, you don’t care, do you?
You’re “surrounded by cowards”; “these
doves” give you shit, don’t they.
No one is right all the time bart.
Especially those who think murdering
people (Bush’s solution) is the answer to a problem.
It's funny how people take a sentence I've written, and then change
it and ask, "Why did you say that?"
I never said I wanted to shoot "people,"
and I'm not
"like the Nazi's."
Because I want Osama dead, hard lefties say I'm "just
like Bush" and
"Bush's identical twin."
And I have no idea what "that’s right,
you don’t care, do you?" means.
I like hearing other opinions, but mine aren't for sale. And
yes, very often the people
who want to turn the other cheek for Osama want to kick my ass
real bad.
Maybe you "other cheekers" could get together and agree on a spokesman
and he and I could politely duke it out in the chat room?
