 Quotes

"The president goes around the country speaking Spanish.
  The only Spanish he speaks when it comes to jobs is hasta la vista.''
    -- John Edwards - he shoots, he scores - in Albuquerque


 Bush wants another $60-70 Billion for BFEE 

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 The planned request -- double what Congress expected -- reflects the deepening cost
 of the five-month-old U.S. occupation and serves as an acknowledgement by Bush that
 they vastly underestimated the price tag of restoring order in Iraq and rebuilding it.
 

 Horseshit!
 What's wrong with the Democrats?
 They should solve this problem before it starts.
 When Bush asked for his first chunk o' cash, the Democrats should've said,
 "Are you sure this is all you're going to need?"

 You build the trap up-front, you don't wait for it to build itself.
 (All Democrats need 9-ball and poker training.)
 Then when he comes back for double, you're in a position to make him admit he either
 lied about the costs of war or he had no idea what he was doing and you make him pay.

 But noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

 The gelding Dems are going to say, "Sure, Mr President. Is $70M enough? Would $90M be better?"

 You watch - they're not even smart enough to say, "...and that's all for 2003?" this time.
 Bush will be back in October needing $100B more, and the Dems will cave in AGAIN!

 I need a drink...



 Quotes

“My contemporaries, our feelings and sensitivities were forged on the battlefields of Vietnam,
  where we heard the garbage and the lies, and we saw the sacrifice. I ask you, is it happening again?”
     -- retired Gen. Anthony Zinni, former head of Centcom, special envoy of Pinhead to the Middle East,   Attribution


 France, Germany Reject Bush begging on Iraq 
  They were right about this war, Bush was just blood-thirsty

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Chirac and Schroeder demanded that Bush give the UN more influence in Iraq.
 Their stance threatened to reopen a rift over their ardent opposition to the Iraq war.
 

 Let's get one thing straight:
 Bush is going to them, asking for help to get out of the crisis he needlessly created.
 


 Hex on thee!
 Hex on thee!
 Hex on thee!

 Hey Monkey!

 Let's see how well you do with the BartCop Hex on your lying ass...



 Quotes

"This president ...is a miserable failure,''
   -- Dick Gephardt - twice last night, blaming Bush for the loss of American lives,
       not mentioning that he voted with Bush on the war.

 Executive Order 13315: The Official Looting of Iraq 

 Bart, you may be interested in executive order 13315, which Bush signed on 8/28/03,
 and was published in the Federal Register on 9/3/03. You can read it at:  Attribution

 It expands upon executive order 13303, and appears to be an asset grab under the guise of
 funding the Iraqi reconstruction, placing Iraq's state assets under control of the U.S. Treasury.
 In effect, the official looting of Iraq. Very convenient for a government which seeks to hand over
 control of Iraq to UN peacekeepers. This executive order has had zero media coverage as of today.

 Mark M
 

 Mark, right now, I'm pretty proud of myself - let me explain.
 When I read the e-mail, I have to fly thru it like The Flash with an incontinence problem.
 My eye caught your paragraph, the headline and like magic, my eyes flew to the phrase in
 this document that allows the B.F.E.E. to legally steal everything in Iraq.

 Of course, reading at regular speeds, you might catch it too.
 Check out this key phrase that lets the B.F.E.E.  strip the entire country competely bare.

 This is what the Monkey secretly ordered:
 (I'm so old, I remember where America wasn't run by "secret orders.")

 I find that the removal of Iraqi property from that country ...and that it is in the interest of the United States
 to confiscate certain additional property of the former Iraqi regime, ...I intend that such property, shall be
 transferred to the Development Fund for Iraq. Such property shall be used to meet the humanitarian needs
 of the Iraqi people, (Haliburton Prisons) for the economic reconstruction and repair of Iraq's infrastructure,
 (Bechtel) for the continued disarmament of Iraq, (Carlyle Group) for the costs of Iraqi civilian administration,
 (Exxon-Mobil) and for other purposes benefiting the Iraqi people.(Pepsi)
 

 Koresh, when I was 17, I managed a rock band in Little Rock.  The Bart-written language written into
 each band contract that we had with places like The Riverside Moose Lodge had more specifics than that.
 All this means is that Bush has declared all Iraqi assets property of the B.F.E.E. - and it's all legal.

"I, Emporer George I, hereby declare Iraq's assets will be put into an account and distributed back
  to them in a manner deemed fair by Haliburton, Bechtel, Carlyle, Exxon-Mobile and Pepsi."
 

 Click on that link and read the official order.
 They just stole hundreds of billions of dollars - legally - am I right?
 

 I know you're tired of reading this, but where is the press?
 


 
 

 Where are the Democrats?
 
 
 

 Why doesn't somebody do something?



 Subject: Jesus, the GI and gynecology

 Bart, you wrote:

> Compare the sacrifice of Jesus to a soldier in Vietnam who threw himself on a grenade to save his platoon.
> That soldier made the ultimate sacrifice, without the Prince-for-Eternity guarantee.
> It's quite a bit easier to "give your life" for someone else (if you're coming back in 3 days)."
 

 If Jesus had it easy and the G.I. is a hero, what is a mother who would allow a doctor to kill her baby in her womb ?

 Hopefully, she's a pro-choice woman exercising her Constitutional rights as defined under Roe v Wade.
 

 And what is the baby? (sic)

 I'd say the fetus was an unfortunate victim of a no-good-ending situation.
 

 Is he a hero or did he have it easy like Jesus, or what ?

"Hero" would not be appropriate.
 And I'll stipulate that Jesus probably suffered more pain, ...is that where you're going?
 

 And what about the doctor and his aides ?

 The doctor and his aides are legally licensed professionals performing a proceedure on a patient.
 Where are we going, because wherever it is I've already been there, so let's speed up the train.
 

 They just killed a guy for no good reason. Or maybe you can explain a good reason for me.

 I'm having to do a lot of guess what you mean, but nither I, nor the mother, (presumably)
 not the doctors, nor the Supreme Court thinks the unborn fetus was "a guy who was just killed."

 Are you trying to trap me?
 If you're anti-abortion rights, why not say that up-front?

 To clarify my position, I personally don't like abortion. Rush says some liberals like abortion and they
 "do a dance" whenever an abortion is performed, but he's just a lying (and racist) sack of shit.
 I see abortion rights as slightly more important than the rights of the fetus.  That's a freedom
 that is often abused, like liquor, like cars and guns, but I see all four as necessary.
 

"How dare they", some might say. I hesitate to say you're hypocritical or have a double-standard,
  but if you can't explain this apparent dichotomy rationally, then I will have to.

 O-K, let's have it, big-talker.

 Maybe it's because I'm completely sober, but I just don't understand.
 If you're pro-life, that means we disagree, but most people do NOT want a total ban on abortion.

 It's possible I've missed your entire drift - if so, it was unintentional.

   Who paid the hijackers?  by Chris Floyd

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Who carried out the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the United States?
 People in the pay of Saudi Arabia, trained and maintained by the secret services of Pakistan.

 What did George W. Bush do to punish these accomplices to mass murder on American soil?
 Nothing.

 Instead he killed more than 30,000 innocent people -- in Iraq.

 White House let bin Laden family flee U.S.
    by Smoking Joe Conason     as seen on Salon.com

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Americans who want to understand an important aspect of what has gone wrong with the Bush "war on terrorism"
 must read Craig Unger's stunning investigative story in the October issue of Vanity Fair. He provides a definitive
 account of how members of the bin Laden family and relatives of the House of Saud were spirited out of the country
 on private aircraft during the days following the Sept. 11 attacks -- when almost all aviation was prohibited.

 Boarding a series of flights that crisscrossed the country, from Florida to Kentucky to Los Angeles, Washington and
 Boston, they were permitted to leave on orders from the "highest level" of the United States government -- without
 any real interrogation or investigation by the FBI. As Unger points out, at least two bin Laden male kinsmen had been
 probed for connections with the U.S. branch of the World Association of Muslim Youth, a suspected terrorist front group.

 Why were individuals connected with the prime suspect in the worst crime in American history allowed to leave the
 country so abruptly? Unger examines the role of Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the suave Saudi ambassador and longtime
 crony of the Bush family, who apparently used his influence to win the release of as many as 140 of his compatriots,
 including the bin Ladens.
 

 Suddenly, people are talking about this.
 Why did the mainstream press ignore this when Michael Moore told Jon Stewart a year ago?
 Good on Joe for highlighting it.


 Freedom fries with your crow, Mr. President?
  After spitting in the face of the world, Bush crawls on his belly before the U.N.
  If the world doesn't rush to help him, Bush has only himself to blame.

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 The Bush administration's humiliating announcement that it wants the U.N. to bail it out officially confers
 the title of "debacle" upon the grand Cheney-Rove-Wolfowitz adventure. Not even the world-class chutzpah
 of this administration can conceal the fact that by turning to the despised world body, it is eating a heaping
 plate of crow. This spectacle may give Bush-bashers from London to Jakarta a happy jolt of schadenfreude,
 but it does nothing to help Americans who are stuck with the ugly fallout of the Bush team's ill-conceived,
 absurdly overoptimistic attempt to redraw the Middle East.

 Subject: Free speech only for those about to be executed

 Bart,

 Here in the great state of Florida, our Catholic-for-love, abortion-hating governor Jub (rhymes
 with Dub), allowed a convicted killer to hold a press conference prior to his execution.

 During this highly unusual press conference (most pre-executed people don't get this perk)
 Paul Hill encouraged other anti-choice nut-jobs to go out and kill more abortion providers.
 Thanks, Gov, for letting a killer have one last shot at inciting murder.

 On the same day that Paul Hill had his press conference, Sherman Austin started his one year
 prison sentence for distributing information with the alleged intent of inciting acts of terrorism.
 His website had some info on the construction of incendiary devices--information readily
 available on a lot of other sites--and the gummint decided to go after some poor, non-white kid.
 For giving out information.  I guess Sherm will have to wait until he's on death row before
 he's allowed to exercise his right to free speech.

 He let this killer hold a press conference?
 If I was Jeb, I would assume he wanted a platform on which he could be murdered on live TV
 by a friend with a scope to make a memorable statement about violence, yak, yak, yak.

 What the hell was the upside of that, knowing what he was likely to say?

 Could Jeb be more stupid that George?

 Two Korean men dug a tunnel into a base warehouse and stole some booze.
 The thieves ferried stolen alcohol through the tunnel for two years before their arrest this week.

 How much did they steal?

 58,000 crates of beer and 4,000 boxes of wine.
 That's not 5,800 cases of beer - that's 58,000 crates of cases of beer.

 Uh, ...since we're about to go to war with nuclear North Korea,
 could we tighten up security a little at the nearby American bases?
 I hope they're not selling duty-free, C4 explosives at the BX


 Subject: Jerry Buss betting

 Dear Bartcop:

 How many filthy rich professional gamblers, who made their money gambling, do you know?

 Hmmm, this is a question I was not expecting.
 I'm going to have to get back to you on that number.
 

 People like Jerry Buss make real money and keep it by betting only on hands that they know are good.
 In short, they aren't gamblers, they only take calculated risks. If I had a chance to join a Buss investment
 or a Flack investment, I'd only join the Buss team. Let me put it another way: some years your local Spurs
 or Rockets are contenders or champions. The Lakers are contenders every year that they aren't champions.

 Dan, yes, that's why I brought it up.

 Subject: Talibamians?

 Hey Bart,

 I can't believe those Talibamians are still out in the street and losing sleep over that hunk of rock.
 Why don't these people just put their monument in a church (where it belongs) and they can rub it all they want?

 Duss
 

 Duss, I just thought of a compromise that will make everyone happy!!!

 Ok, now stay with me on this...

 I know some people in New York and they know a printer who can print things. It's my understanding
 that the Ten Commandments need not be in granite form to be effective, so these printers in New York
 have agreed to print up little, tiny, portable Ten Commandments in slim-paper form that can slip into a
 purse or wallet so you can carry the Ten Commandments right with you - anywhere you go!

 ha ha

 We could make a lot of money...

 We sell these little, almost paper-thin "cards," ...if you will, ...with the Commandments right on them,
 which solves that whole Ten Commandments problem in Alabama    ...and now we can all move on.

 Big NFL Kickoff

 Good Charlotte started off with a hopping, Green Day-type song.

 Whatever happened to Green Day?  Funny when they just fall off.

 Mary J Blige was next, not my style, but she's certainly a good performer.

 Next was Little Miss Nasty, former top-of-all show business, Britney.

 She had her crew pull her pants off, mid-song.

 I'm so old, it was just embarrassing.

 Mrs Bart noted that Britney was the youngest performer, and the only one not singing.
 Mary J. Blige sang good and she sang hard.
 Steven Tyler not only sang good and hard, but he hit those high notes, too.
 But Britney's lungs can't support that much air, so she cheats by lip-synching?

 Aerosmith zipped thru three classics, Walk This Way, Saddle and Dream On...and no sign of Justin.

 The show is is titled "Get Your Rock Off With Houston".
 I will be playing all my favorite rock music from surf beat and rockabily like King of Hawaii and

 in between.  Including the best classic rock, blues, Grunge and of course The Dandy Warhols.

  Factors in the 9/11 attack?

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Norman is the home of the University of Oklahoma, where David Boren is president. Zacarias Moussaoui
 arrived in Norman in February 2001 a flight student,  housed in OU dormitories. He remained in Norman for
 most of the summer. In August, OU engineering student Hussein Al-Attas drove him to Minneapolis, where
 he enrolled in another flight school. Moussaoui was attempting to recruit Al-Attas to the jihad in Chechnya. 6

 According to the LA Weekly before his trip to Minneapolis, Moussaoui had a meeting with Mohammad Atta,
 ringleader of the 9/11 plot, in an Oklahoma City motel. Also present was a man who appeared to be Marwin
 Al-Shehhi, who helped crash a jetliner into the south tower of the WTC.

 Did CIA agent Edger, whose responsibility was surveillance over the Hamburg cell of which Atta was a member,
 know about this meeting? The FBI knew about it but apparently did not treat it as significant. The meeting was
 confirmed on the O'Reilly show by Larry Johnson, former Deputy Director of the State Department's Office
 of Counter Terrorism (May 11, 2002).

 Subject: Your Views on Israel not "targeting"...

 Bart, while I'm an avid reader of your site, I disagree on your views regarding the Israelis'
 supposed "non-targeting" of Palestinian civilians or children. There have been MANY instances
 that contradict your point of view... they just never get covered in American news media.
 I thought that you, for one, would realize this...

 Trust me when I say that the Israeli Army's lack of care or respect for ANY Palestinian life (be it man,
 woman, or child) is well documented, and providing links to stories that documents the countless incidents
 will take far too much time that I can spare. I have been immersed in neutral international news sources for
 much of my life that support the occurances of such events on a regular (almost definitely daily) basis...

 http://www.gush-shalom.org/archives/kurdi_eng.html

 http://www.seruv.org.il/testimonies/effects_children.htm

 Zyad
 

 Zyad, the problem I'm having on this subject is when I suggest Israel doesn't target children,
 people write and say, "But kids died - want to see the bloody pictures?"

 That misses the reason why target is bold and underlined.
 Car wrecks don't target children, yet children die in them, but that's not proof
 that cars target children - why can't I get people to realize their bridge doesn't connect?

 The hate on both sides clouds out the ability to make sense.
 That's why, as a "godless" observer, I was just trying to make a point.

 In my opinion, there's no doubt the Palestinians target children, (as in a busload of kids)
 and the anti-Israelists want so badly for that to be true on both sides, but is it?

 Subject: America grovels before UN

 Now that the Bush administration is groveling before the United Nations begging them
 to take over in Iraq for his messed up war, (Still no weapons of mass distruction - Still no Saddam)
 makes we wonder if we are going to rename "Freedom Fries" back to "French Fries".

 As it turns out - they were right and we were wrong.
 Maybe Bush's rich friends should give back that upper class tax break to pay for this war.
