"Ask out troops in Iraq wether the mission
has been accomplished.
Ask our troops in Iraq wether they'd
rather have a fancy aircraft landing
by the president or a responsible postwar
plan to keep them safe."
-- John Kerry,
talking like he's got a pair (USA Today 10/29/03, Page 8A)
John, it's great to hear you finally speak up, but where have you been for the last 30 months?
Excerpt:
Big givers to Bush and companies with political
and military connections are getting
most of the reconstruction work in Iraq
and Afghanistan, a watchdog group said Thursday.
Winning contractors have given $49 million
to national political campaigns and parties since 1990.
Two-thirds of the money given went to the
GOP. Bush got $500,000 - more than any other candidate.
Cheney's Halliburton was the top recipient
of reconstruction contracts, pulling in $2.3 billion. Most of it
came when the Pentagon secretly
awarded Halliburton's KBR unit a $1.6 billion contract last
year,
without bids,
to repair Iraqi oil infrastructure. Halliburton said Thursday it was "selected
on merit" and
was "the only company with the right skills
and experience to handle such wartime emergencies."
Bechtel, close to several Republican administrations,
was No. 2, with contracts worth $1.3 billion.
Thursday, Bechtel said it got richer because
it offered "the highest technical competence at one of the lowest costs."
The center singled out SAIC, a technology
and services company that works closely with the Pentagon.
It says SAIC's contract to train Iraqi
journalists shows that well-connected companies had won jobs
in areas where they have
little experience. SAIC declined comment.
Most of the 10 biggest contracts went to
companies employing former top government officials
or executives closely tied to members of
Congress or contracting agencies.
This is not a surprise, nor is it news!
We knew this was coming when Bush stole the elction.
They didn't spend $200 million to help the lower class have a
better America.
They stole power to steal billions and nobody, especially
the Democrats, cares.
"We
have nothing to say - Dubya is honest! We love him!"
Quotes
"Earlier this week, the president claimed that
the wave of attacks that left dozens dead
abd scores injured proved that the
U.S. was winning the peace in Iraq. Today we heard
him absurdly claiming that the White
House was not responsible for the "Mission Accomplished"
banner that decorated the flight deck
of the Abraham Lincoln."
-- Howard Dean, talking like
he's
got a pair (USA Today 10/29/03, Page 8A)
To be fair, Dean's been speaking out a lot more than Kerry, but
why are they holding back?
I hope the Democrats don't do like Gore did, and wait 2-3 years
after the election to start their campaign.

Happy Halloween
from Ann Coldsore
Excerpt:
American troops clashed with rioters carrying
Saddam's picture in Baghdad Friday,
and heavy smoke billowed from the mayor's
office in a city west of Baghdad after a big explosion.
Iraqis said the riot broke out when U.S.
troops tried to clear market stalls from a main road.
But U.S. officers said it began with a
grenade attack against American soldiers that left two wounded.
Youths began throwing stones at troops and
Iraqi police and set tires ablaze.
Protesters carried Saddam's picture and
shouted "Allahu Akbar," or "God is great."
After a three-hour interlude, gunfire erupted
again as U.S. armored vehicles moved into the area.
Ten explosions were heard, and civilians
said our troops had "come under attack." Later, mortars fell
on an Iraqi police station near the market.
Americans arrested two Iraqis carrying a mortar firing tube.
"Bring
'em on! We're not scared!
We ain't leaving, either!"

"This is in response to the recent letter from

the same before he was told he was
going home?"

Thousands
Given Wrong STD Results
Jesus, what a monsterous screw up this turned out to be
Excerpt:
British Columbia - About 3,000 people got
the wrong results when they were tested
for gonorrhea and chlamydia over an 18-month
period, health officials say.
Because of a faulty diagnostic machine in
this southeastern British Columbia town,
test results for the two sexually transmitted
diseases were reversed.
"The machine was flipping the tests results,"
Paine said. "In other words, if you were a positive,
you would have received a negative reading.
If you were a negative, you got a positive reading."
About 3,000 people are believed to have
been tested between Nov 2000, and May 2002,
and about 83 were told they were clean
when they actually had one of the diseases.
Most of the 83 have been contacted but
not all, Paine said. The rest of the 3,000 were
told they were infected and were given
treatment although they did not have the diseases.
Koresh, I can't even imagine the
trouble this screw up caused. Some guy who maybe got a lap dance
once in Vegas a decade ago "found out" he HAD an STD, then had
to go home and confess to his wife
and warn her to get treatment for an STD neither of them has,
probably causing a divorce.
Meanwhile, some scumbag who cheated a hundred times and
HAS the STD was given the green light,
and his wife may now be fully infected but she dismisses the
symptoms because she's been monogamous.

Non-dueling Quotes
"If Iraq was funding terrorists, why didn't
we do Saudi Arabia and Syria, too? And if that was
valid enough reason, then why did the
focus so suddenly shift to weapons of mass destruction?
Why, if WMD were the focus, did the
United States secure the oil fields but not the nuclear-research facilities?
Why did the focus then shift a third
time to freeing the people of Iraq? Doesn't it seem strange to anyone
that we haven't had one constant reason
for starting a war?"

"The Clinton and other past administrations
had ignored evidence of growing terrorist
threats and despite repeated attacks

terror and more victims."

Democrats
won't give Bush credit for economy
Giant gobs of horseshit from the Washington Times
Excerpt:
Democrats yesterday downplayed the strongest
quarterly economic growth in 19
years, (7.2 percent)
refusing to give Bush credit and stressing
still-lagging job creation, while the GOP gloated over the news.
We've been
over this before. It was explained the past time a GOP president had "explosive
growth."
I will explain again for the newbies and
the
can't-learn, easily-duped ditto-monkeys.
Bush the smarter had the economy running
at 40 on the Reagan-Bush Highway.
Then Clinton won the election (the old-fashioned
way - legally) and got the country crusing at
a very prosperous 75 MPH and America found
themselves in economic Paradise.
Then the evil and corrupt Pinhead's stole
the election and forced tax cuts on the super rich, which
dragged us down to about ten disasterous
miles per hour and hurt a hundred million working families.
The fact that we're now going 17 miles
per hour is no great accomplishment for Never-Worked-a-Day.
All that means is we've gotten faster, and the idiot Bush boy wants to claim credit for the 17?
So remember, when they scream, "The
economy is roaring back," remind them
they used the word "back."
Clinton took the economy into the goddamn
stratosphere and we crucified him for working 80 hours a week on
it.
When the never-elected Bush boy barely
gets it off the ground, the American media screams his praises.
Another thing:
They say it's the biggest recovery jump
in 19 years - that's when Von Reagan was president.
He crashed the economy, like Bush, BIG-time,
so he had a "big" jump coming out of it.
Don't believe their lies.
You'd rather go from 73 to 75 MPH than
Bush's lame-ass 10 to 17 MPH.
Quotes
"Can you think of anything scarier this trick-or-treat
time than a kid showing up at your door
wearing a G.W. Bush mask? In his rush
to dismantle our democracy, destroy the Bill of Rights
and encourage disrespect for Uncle
Sam around the world, he gives us all a fright."
--John David Rose Attribution
Bush at his morning briefing
Excerpt:
Doctors had never suspected a link between
the act of fellatio and breast cancer,
but new research being performed at North
Carolina State University is starting to
suggest that there could be an important
link between the two.
Said Dr. A.J. Kramer of Johns Hopkins, who
was not involved in the research.
"I am surprised by these findings, but am also
excited that the researchers may have
discovered a relatively easy way to lower
the occurance of breast cancer in women."

Quotes
"Mission creep is occurring in Iraq. The administration

but its budget request shows it wants

Dave Rogerson's life-size mechanical terrier

Armed security staff were alerted when the
toy's wind-breaking mechanism registered as a high
explosive on sensitive monitoring equipment.
Rogerson was questioned by FBI agents and
looked on in amazement as they took a series of
swabs from the mechanical toy's rear end.
The toy animal was eventually returned to him, but he
was not allowed to take his planned flight
and had to take an alternative route to Carolina.
Rogerson said: "There's no humour at American check-ins and I was quite scared.

Quotes
"For months the White House has answered virtually
every terrorist attack inside Iraq with
the same talking point: The enemy is
"desperate." The killing and chaos were the surest signs
that America was making headway rebuilding
a free and peaceful Iraq because, the administration
insists, it's progress that threatens
freedom-hating terrorists. Desperate? How about sophisticated?
Or brazen, coordinated or cocky? The
terrorists are freely roaming inside Iraq, picking off their targets
seemingly at will: hotels, police stations,
embassies, mosques, even Baghdad's deputy mayor.
Undaunted, administration officials
are sticking with the spin they committed to months ago."

Excuse me, Sir, but the question seems to be,
"How many thousands of names do we want carved
into the Iraq War Memorial Wall in Washington DC?"
Excerpt:
"While dinner was served on exquisite china,
the train stopped once more at a siding.
A few feet away, a hospital train marked
time, and from their tiered cots, wounded soldiers
peered into the blazing light of the dining
room where Hitler was immersed in conversation.
Suddenly he looked up at the awed faces
staring in at him. In great anger he ordered the curtains
drawn, plunging his wounded warriors back
into the darkness of their own bleak world."

Who's
counting the dead in Iraq?
Not Barbara Bush, that's for sure... by Helen
Thomas, from Sept 5, 2003
Excerpt:
Remember the enemy body counts during the
Vietnam War?
Well, we don't do that anymore.
Trying to find the death count among Iraqis
has proved to be mission impossible.
I asked Pentagon officials: ''How many Iraqis
have been killed in this war?''
The reply was: ``We don't track the Iraqi
dead.''
Weeks later I pursued the question and was
told by a Defense Department official: '
'They don't count. They are not important,''
meaning the casualty figures.
To this evil and corrupt president, they're
just "worthless sand niggers," and Bush has
as much sympathy for them as he did as
a young monster for the frogs with firecrackers
inserted in their rectums that the blood-loving
bastard tossed into the air. What fun!
"Hey -
those frogs asked for it,
just like those Iraqi civilians!"
Excerpt:
Bush took six months to evaluate Gray Davis'
emergency request last spring for $430 million
to clear dead trees from fire-prone areas
of Southern California. The request was finally denied
Oct. 24, only hours before wildfires roared
out of control in the largest fire disaster in California history.
Rep. Mary Bono (R-Idiot), a leader in the
effort to get federal assistance for fire prevention,
questioned Thursday why the FEMA did not
rule sooner.
"FEMA's decision was wrong," Bono said. "The timing
couldn't have been worse....
We knew this disaster was going to happen
with certainty. It was only a matter of when, and we were
trying to beat the clock with removing
the dead trees." If Davis had received the denial earlier,
Bono said, he would have had time to wage
an appeal.
This can't be right - Bush's good puppy press and talk radio and
the networks say this was either
the fault of Bill Clinton or Gray Davis and that's what liberalism
does - destroys homes and families.
CNN is reporting Davis begged for funds in back in March, but
Bush told him to suck on it.
Now the whore media will spin this as "Proof
that Bush's 'Clean Forest Initiative' is needed."

Dennis
Miller to Host CNBC Hate Show
Funnyman-turned-government-cabanaboy finds a home for his
hate
"I'm
more bald than Ann Coulter at Nazi-Con 2000."
Excerpt:
Former comedian Dennis Miller (R-Nazi),
who was funny a decade ago,
will return to the GE fold to host a prime-time
cable talk show starting next year.
Miller, who won five Emmy Awards as a liberal,
said the hour-long show will debut
in January on CNBC, the cable business
channel.
"With all that's going on in the world today,
it's nice to have a nightly platform to air
my worship of America's worst mass murderer.
I'm happy to be whoring for GE," said Miller.
Miller has been seen as a potential rising
star in the state Republican party, which is what got him this job.
Republican organizations are the only people
who will hire this has-been, wannabe, turncoat traitor.
"Dennis
Miller is a funny guy - he'll MC my second inaugural..."

It's strange watching Miller as he's going backwards socially
and politically. On the show,
he plays a heartless, I-love-money, greedy-ass Republican who
can't stand less affluent people,
but I have a feeling his character will "turn around" and "see
the light" and accept the poor,
which is exactly the opposite of what he's done with his career.

Claim vs. Fact: Bush Press Conference of Lies
Excerpt:
CLAIM: "The world is more peaceful
and more free under my leadership." [Source: President Bush, 10/28/03]
FACT: According to Amnesty International's
2003 annual report "The world has become more dangerous, and
governments more repressive, since the
effort to fight terrorism began after the 9/11, attacks on the United States."
For the U.S. specifically, "Since March,
353 U.S. troops have been killed in Iraq, including 229 in hostile fire."
[Source: NY Times, 5/29/03 and CNN, 10/28/03]"

Fox
News: The inside story
A former producer describes how top execs
impose a right-wing spin on the newsroom
Excerpt:
"The fact is," Reina wrote, "daily life at FNC
is all about management politics." Reina said that Fox's daily news coverage
-- and its daily news bias -- is driven
by an "editorial note" sent to the newsroom every morning by John Moody,
a Fox
senior vice president. The editorial note
-- a memo posted on Fox's computer system -- tells the staff which correspondents
are working on which stories. But frequently,
Reina says, it also contains hints, suggestions and directives on how to
slant
the day's news -- invariably, he says,
in a way that's consistent with the politics and desires of the Bush administration.
That's shocking!
You mean FOX News is nothing but a propaganda tool and apologist
for a bigger, more powerful federal government?
I'm shocked!
I'm so old, I remember when Republicans stood for less government.

Joe
Conason's Journal
An Iraq critic is consulting the White
House. Will the administration listen?
Excerpt:
Like many supporters of the Iraq war, Thomas
L. Friedman is irritated by premature "leftist" comparisons with Vietnam.
It's easy to tell when he's exasperated,
because expressions like "hogwash" and "let's get real" pop out of his
laptop.
He may have been peeved again this morning
to see his column on the same page with that notorious leftist Maureen
Dowd,
who explicitly made that very comparison
by quoting the great Vietnam correspondent Neil Sheehan. Friedman seems
convinced that the Bush administration
has embarked on a "radical liberal" project in Iraq, which he wholeheartedly
endorses despite his misgivings about its
execution. Those ignorant Bushies probably don't pay enough attention to
the Times sage, although he essentially
agrees with them.
Wow, is Joe kidding or does his computer not have a sarcasm key?
The Dragon lady hates everybody, especially leftists.
If I had a dollar for every lie the Doud-slut told about Hillary,
Bill and Al Gore,
I could buy that $2500 phone hybrid and take live calls on BartCop
Radio.
Doud is a liberal like Andrew Sullivan is,
like Pat Cadell is,
like James Woods is,
like Rosie O'Donnell is.
like Chris the Screamer is,
like Tim (meet the Whore) Russert is.
