"Many of us who opposed the war in Iraq did
so because, we argued at the time,
Iraq was successfully contained and
therefore no threat to America and that a war
over there would distract us from greater
dangers posed by al Qaeda, North Korea
and Iran. Six months later -- six months
after toppling Saddam Hussein, that is, it's
obvious that we were right. If
the goal of President Bush's foreign policy was to make
America weaker, more vulnerable and
more hated, mission accomplished."

Excerpt:
The forces opposing the U.S.-led military
coalition in Iraq total no more than 5,000,
the top American general in the region
said Thursday. Gen. John Abizaid said that despite
the relatively small numbers, the insurgent
forces have considerable training, funding and supplies.
"The goal of the enemy is to break the will of
the United States of America, to make us leave."
Well, 5,000 suicide bombers (How did you
get that figure, anyway?) with an average of
say, 20 dead per suicide bombing means
we're only going to lose 100,000 more soldiers?

U.S.
Troops More Hostile With Reporters
Covering victory is OK, covering losses is strictly verboten
Excerpt:
In October, the Belgium-based International
Federation of Journalists, which includes
unions representing 500,000 journalists
in more than 100 countries, complained of increased
harassment of reporters, including beatings
of some, since the fall of Saddam's regime.
...
"Mr.
Rove's truth is the only truth you need..."

Excerpt:
In the late '90s, Ahmad Chalabi, the leader
of one of the resistance groups, the Iraqi National Congress, began cultivating
and lobbying intellectuals, journalists
and political leaders in Washington. Chalabi - had a shadowy past; his family,
exiled from
Iraq in the late '50s, had set up a banking
empire through the Middle East that collapsed in charges of fraud in 1989.
(Chalabi,
who has always denied wrongdoing, has been
convicted and sentenced, in absentia, by a Jordanian military court to
22 years.)
But operating out of London, the smoothly
persuasive Chalabi presented himself as a democratic answer to Saddam Hussein.
With a little American backing, he promised,
he could rally the Iraqi people to overthrow the Butcher of Baghdad.
Chalabi was hailed in some circles, especially
among the neocons at AEI, as the "George Washington of Iraq." But the
professionals at the State Department and
at
the CIA took a more skeptical view. In 1999, after Congress had passed
and
President Bill Clinton had signed the Iraqi
Liberation Act, providing funds to support Iraqi exile groups, the U.S.
government
convened a conference with the INC and
other opposition groups in London to discuss "regime change." The American
officials
proposed bringing INC activists to America
for training. Chalabi's aides objected. Most of the likely candidates were
Iraqi refugees
living in various European countries. By
coming to the United States, they could lose their refugee status. Some
Pentagon officials
shook their heads in disbelief. "You had
to wonder," said one who attended the conference, "how serious were these
people.
They kept telling us they wanted to risk
their lives for their country. But they were afraid to risk their refugee
status in Sweden?"

Ten Commandments judge to run for office in Massabama
Excerpt:.
Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore was removed
from office Thursday for refusing to obey
a federal court order to move his personal
Ten Commandments monument from the rotunda
of the state courthouse. The court unanimously
imposed the harshest penalty possible after a
one-day trial in which Moore said his refusal
was a moral and lawful acknowledgment of God.
Prosecutors said Moore's defiance, left
unchecked, would harm the judicial system.
Yes!
Sanity wins one.
Maybe there is a God, after all.

Excerpt:
Rush Limbaugh will return to his radio
hate show Monday after completing a
five-week treatment program for his addiction
to painkillers, his brother said Wednesday.
David Limbaugh (R-Nazi) made the announcement to Matt Drudge, who else?
"He's obviously chomping at the bit to get back
to doing what he does best," David Limbaugh said,
"which is mocking the poor, slurring black and
playing lollipop jingles for gay Americans."

Quotes
"Bush certainly has an odd way of thanking
veterans. His administration is considering closing
58 military schools and 19 commissaries,
a move that the garrison commander at Fort Stewart
calls -- quote -- "a betrayal" -- unquote.
The Bush administration also opposes extending health
benefits for National Guardsmen, supports
a $1.4 billion cut in military housing, and left a military
-- one million military children out
of the child tax credit. Surprised? Well, you shouldn't be.
Bush apparently likes playing dress-up
fighter pilot, but now, just as during Vietnam, when
our military really needs him, George
W. Bush is AWOL."

Jon Matthews indicted for indecency

Excerpt:
A teenager who lives in Matthews' Sugar
Land neighborhood went to police Oct. 9

in early October, Mr. Matthews exposed
his genitals to a child," said John Healy,
the Fort Bend DA. "We have not alleged any contact."
Howard
Dean, Rebel Rouser
by Gene Lyons
Excerpt:
Howard Dean made his point a lot more effectively
when I heard him at a Little Rock appearance
earlier this year. What he planned to ask
Southern white men, the former Vermont governor said,
was "You've been voting Republican for
thirty years, ever since Nixon. What have you got to
show for it? Better schools? Better jobs?
Reliable health insurance?"
Bringing a potentially
divisive symbol like the rebel flag into it wasn't the smartest thing Dean's
done in an otherwise cleverly innovative
campaign. But his rivals' make-believe outrage made them
look ridiculous. Does anybody really think
that Al Sharpton and Sen. John Kerry were personally offended?
Subject: Moore's commandments
Bartcop:
You put it so succinctly yesterday.
Moore does not own the property he wants
to put his 2.5 ton sculpture on.
So since God is so important in his life,
I presume he has put this sculpture on his own front lawn?
Dan
Dan, it's not about praising God.
Moore could do that alone, inside his home.
This is about forcing his religion on others, and the
Constitution says he can't.
Government Outgrows Cap Set by Pinhead
Excerpt:
Proving Bush to be a liar about his pledge
to rein in government growth,
federal discretionary spending has made
the government grow by 27 percent.
The sudden rise in spending subject to Congress's
annual discretion contrasts
with the 1990s, when such discretionary
spending rose an average of 2.4 percent a year.
Under Clinton, we had peace, prosperity and 2 percent government
growth.
Under the Moron, we have war, recession and runaway government
spending
that had seen a budget balloon over one fourth bigger
than it was two years ago.

Subject: Bush Co fuzzy logic
Bart,
Today, the CIA says the Iraqi resistance
is 50,000 strong, while this General Abizaid also said today that it is
only about 5,000 in force.
Which is it?
I'm confused, because this is some of the
same fuzzy logic that we pay for and which has been utilized in producing
the latest numbers on:
the economy,
jobs,
Leave No Child Behind,
body count in Iraq,
wounded in Iraq,
actions of Jessica Lynch,
votes counted in Florida,
Right-to-Kill but opposing Right-to-Die,
Ahnuld's groping allegations,
Clinton's lovers,
deforestation,
federal deficits,
trade deficits,

"Members of the 160th are deployed constantly
at numerous locations around the world and as
a matter of course we do not normally discuss
those deployments for security reasons,'' he said.
"However, I can say that since Spc. Lynch just
recently joined the unit he is still undergoing some
of the military training crucial to fulfilling
the duties of his new assignment.''
Lynch acted as a family spokesman to the
national media after his sister was rescued April 1
by U.S. forces from an Iraqi hospital in
the city of Nasiriyah.
He also introduced her before the national
media at her return to Wirt County in July and rode
with her, in uniform, in a parade through

Their Master's Voice
Excerpt:
"It must be the voice.
It is the basso pretendo profundo voice
of the dean of boys in a strict private school. At the tables of power,
he speaks so sparsely and softly in that
low hypnotic monotone, with that lower jaw tilting to the side in a
self-assured "I only talk out of one side
of my mouth" kind of way, that others at the table have no choice
but to listen up. He is the one who must
be obeyed.
Dick Cheney's dry Wyoming voice has the
same effect on some male Republicans, starting at the very top,
and even some journalists, that a high-pitched
whistle has on a dog. How else to explain the vice president's
success in creating a parallel universe
inside the White House that is shaping the real universe?...
Mr. Cheney's parallel universe is a Bizarro
world where no doubts exist. He indulges in extremes of judgment,
overpessimistic about our ability to contain
Saddam and overoptimistic about the gratitude we would encounter as "liberators"
in Iraq.
In Cheneyworld, the invasion of Iraq has
made the world a safer place (tell it to the Italians), W.M.D. are still
concealed in all those Iraqi basements,
every Iraqi insurgent is a card-carrying member of Al Qaeda, and the
increase in attacks on Americans reflects
the guerrillas' desperation, not their strengths. Guerrilla attacks on
American soldiers are labeled acts of terrorism
rather than acts of war, even though the official U.S. definition
describes terrorism as attacks on civilians."

Lisa
Lisa, it appears American women don't mind
the B.F.E.E. making their reproductive decisions.
Besides a few mumbles from NOW, did anybody
object?
The Democrats sure as hell don't mind if women lose their rights.
Hell, some Democrats actively voted to take rights away from women and their doctors.
Tens of millions of women voted for the illegal thug and his reduced-rights
coalition.
If the women of American don't want abortion rights - should
we men fight for them?
I'm the only pro-choicer I know of who admits abortion is the
taking of a life.
I don't like it, but it's the lesser of two evils.
Don't women care?

Bush's
Democracy Is Fit for Kings
by Joe Conason
Excerpt:
The most quoted line of his address departed
from decades of American policy toward the oil-rich
oligarchs and military rulers of the world's
most strategic region. "Sixty years of Western nations
excusing and accommodating the lack of
freedom in the Middle East did nothing to make us safe,"
he said, "because in the long run, stability
cannot be purchased at the expense of liberty."
From now on, the United States will seek
to encourage freedom everywhere, according to the President
- perhaps even among the petroleum states
where the Bush family and its cronies have so long enjoyed
the patronage of oppressive regimes. At
least that is what everyone who read the speech assumed, even
though the President never mentioned Saudi
Arabia by name (and reserved his scourging for Syria and Iran).
Of course Bush would never mention his father's employers.
As long as Poppy Bush is an agent for the Saudis, they are "held
harmless."

Investigate
Bush! Subscribe to Salon.com
by David Talbot
Excerpt:
We can't rely on Big Media to do the job.
The vigilant Washington Post of Watergate legend
has now turned into a rubber stamp for
Bush's catastrophic Iraq policy. The CBS of Edward R. Murrow,
Walter Cronkite and Norman Lear has become
the "craven broadcasting system," caving to right-wing
pressure groups that demanded a politically
correct version of Ronald Reagan's presidency. And just when
you thought that cable television couldn't
stuff another angry white guy into prime time, CNBC just
announced it's giving Dennis Miller his
own slot.
David Talbot, the guy who hired David Horowitz (R-Whore) is also
the guy, apparently, who sent
Jennifer Liberto into the bartcop.com camp
in her Coulter-length skirt to bat her eyes at me, flatter me,
and lie to me and try to screw me in an effort to bring down
bartcop.com

Hi, I'm Jennifer Liberto.
Need a Democrat stabbed in the back?
If Linda Tripp's busy, call me - I'm cheaper.
I didn't remember this, but my good friends at APJ.US wrote a thing about it.
Excerpt:
As we shall show, Liberto in her own disarming
manner sustained through the article a level of
demagoguery that Ann Coulter is reputed
to achieve only at climax. ha
ha We shall further
show that Liberto apparently violated several
basic journalistic and ethical precepts. Whatever
the intent of her article, the effect was
to injure the speech rights of private citizens, citizens
attempting to use those speech rights to
reform that very same corporate media.
When I refused to play ball with this failed assassin She-Thing,
she
made it personal,
so we take a revenge shot at her whenever her ugly name pops
up.
To be fair, (and what is bartcop.com if not fair?) Talbot
either fired her or she quit after
we smacked her a few times. Last I heard she was whoring for
a newspaper in Florida.
Also, Talbot employs one of the best ever non-whore writers, my
good
friend Joe Conason,
so he can't be all bad, but can he be trusted to lead the anti-Bush
"revolution?"

Are so many American flags being incinerated in this country
that
Wesley Clark believes we must tamper with the Bill of Rights?
Excerpt:
Perhaps Wesley Clark feels he must downplay
his intellectual credentials. That could explain why
the former Rhodes scholar abandoned his
courageous defense of dissent yesterday
to endorse the
flag-burning amendment while speaking at
an American Legion post in New Hampshire. It was the
kind of incident to which voters have long
since grown accustomed in presidential campaigns:
a smart man saying stupid things while
pandering.
Do I see this as a big problem?
No.
If I'd been shot in Vietnam, I'm sure I'd look at our flag differently
than I do.
But if Clark wanted to spend a lot of time and money on this
- that would be a mistake.
