"Our president feels the heaviness sending these young men out to fight for you and me.
  It is clear that this president feels his responsibilities.
  I am filled with confidence in our commander and chief.
  It's a shame some people (Cindy Sheehan) don't know how to behave themselves."
      -- Sara Jo Clay, who lost a son on Dubya's Sword of Greed,  Link
 

 Our president feels the heaviness of $135M new petrol dollars every day.
 It is clear that this president is making a profit from his fabricated war.
 I loathe any bastard who would profit from dead American soldiers.
 It's a shame that these Gold Star Mothers lost their sons to greed.

Scheuer on Bin-Laden 'Truce' Tape
  by my good friend, Tulsan Richard Fricker  as seen on consortiumnews.com

 Link

 Excerpt:
is an interview with Michael Scheuer, a former CIA counter-terrorism expert on al-Qaeda,
commenting about Osama bin-Laden's proposed "truce" for the United States if it leaves
Iraq and halts other military operations in the region.

Not surprisingly, the Bush administration rejected bin-Laden's offer, but there has been a difference
of opinion among Middle East analysts about whether bin-Laden's "truce" offer was just a political stunt
or whether it foreshadowed another terrorist attack inside the United States. Scheuer believes the latter.

 Lies About Blowjobs, That's a crime
 Lies about Wars?  We forgive you, George

 Link

 Excerpt:
It soon became clear that the insider press corps had developed a set of values almost completely antithetical
to those of the majority of the American people. This disjunction is frequently misinterpreted--often deliberately
--as one of snooty liberal elitists versus God-fearing, Darwin-disbelieving, upright common folk. It's almost
impossible to find reliable evidence for this characterization, either in what the press corps believes or what
the public does. Ironically, the media elite are attacking themselves when they embrace this myth, which is
purposely stoked by the far right, as I've demonstrated ad nauseam.
 

The public begged the fascist House dogs to stop the Impeachment.
Clinton's approval was in the seveneties, and terroprists were taking flying lessons,
but the Republicans said Clinton had to be brought down "to save the flag from falling."

Instead, the World Trade Centers fell.

Subject: Troop withdrawal

There will be no troop withdrawl any time soon.
The US Military is there to stay into the unforseeable future.

Halliburton and "companies" are undoubtedly building permanent bases all over Iraq,
as many of the Iraqi people believe.  The oil fields and oil industry must be under
solid US interest, influence and control before any US troops leave Iraq.

People in the US must be incredibly delusional to believe that the war was about "WMD"
or democracy.  In fact, the Bush administration must certainly be in favor of all the chaos there,
because this kind of unstable insurgent activity makes for an excellent argument for staying as
long as possible.  That is why Bush keeps saying that things are going well.

They are, for him and his cronies.

Subject: Bush joy buzzer

Bart, I was forwarded an e-mail that said Bush used a joy buzzer on a Gold Star Mother that
he met in the Oval Office. Her son had been killed in Iraq and Bush was supposed to comfort her,
but instead he buzzed her when she reached out to shake his hand.  She apparently started crying,
and Bush apologized and said he was just trying to cheer her up.

It sounds fishy to me - what do you think?
Ed in Pontiac
 

Bush is a 9-year old boy with unlimited power and nobody ever tells him no.
I wouldn't put anything past him.
He is a vfery sick bastard.

If you still have that e-mail, send me a copy.

BFEE Bastard Pleads Guilty
 Bush put a felon in charge of money in Iraq

 Link

 Excerpt:
Robert J. Stein, the Bush confederate accused of stealing millions of dollars through corrupt
efforts in Iraq, pleaded guilty to five charges, including conspiracy, bribery and money laundering.

Stein worked in Iraq from late 2003 to December 2004 as a contract employee on behalf of the BFEE.
He was accused of rigging contracts and stealing at least $2 million, which he used to buy cars and airplanes.
 

There are a hundred more like this guy on Bush's payroll.
He puts these crooks in charge, then they steal millions and kick back to Bush.
There are a hundred more like this guy on Bush's payroll.
Bush is going to do the same with Katrina, too.
 

Guilty Plea, Wider Scheme Play into Iraq

 Link

 Excerpt:
Despite a felony fraud conviction that his Pentagon background check apparently missed,
Mr. Stein was hired and put in charge of at least $82 million of taxpayer money.     
 

Bullshit!

The Pentagon didn't "miss" a damn thing.
Bush ordered them to give the money to Stein.
Why do you think Bush started this bloody quagmire?

They can't steal hundred of billions of dollars in peacetime and
 they can't steal hundred of billions of dollars if the levees hold.

...and the military families love this murdering bastard?

Quotes

"The Super Bowl isn't a fotball game.
  It's an excuse to exhume the Rolling Stones."
     -- some sports Dude in USA Today
 

Y'know, it makes me wonder...
Detroit has lost half its population in the last 25 years or so - it's dying.

Instead of the Rolling Stones, why couldn't they have gotten stars from Motown
to get this once-vibrant city's blood pumping again, instead of the need-to-retire Stones?

I accidentally ran into this review:

"Unlike U2's performance four years ago at the Super Bowl, the Stones' set
  was not an example of a band at its peak rising to the majesty of the event."

Subject: more WTC collapse

http://www.scholarsfor911truth.org/

start with: "The Destruction of the World Trade Center:
Why the Official Account Cannot Be True"

by David Ray Griffin, Ph.D.

The truth could make you sick.
mrmojo
 

Dude, I'm with you, but you gotta be leary of "the truth."

This guy has an opinion - he knows more than me, but until someone with national gravitas
can put the truth into plain language that a person can fit in his or her own hand, we got nothing.

Years ago, the country slowly turned against the Vietnam War.
When Walter Cronkite said, "We have no business dying in Vietnam," people noticed.

We need a Cronkite for 9-11 and Bush's bloody quagmire.
Somebody with unassailable character needs to stand up.

Author David Ray Griffin might be the smartest, most honest patriot in America,
but I've never heard of him so America has probably never heard of him.

I'm with you, but so far - we have no traction on this.

Dearest Bartcoppers:
The following is an email I sent out today to folks, some of whom are IN Tulsa,
some who are FROM Tulsa and some who have NEVER been to Tulsey Town in their lives.

Folks:

This web site is out of Tulsa, Amerika.
Not everyone there is a right wing wacko.

The other day, I heard someone on the Air America Radio Network plugging this site.
Wouldn't it be loverly if AAR had an affiliate in Tulsa; reminds of when it didn't have an NPR affiliate;
you know, that moderate network with the best radio news coverage in America.

Bartcop has been up on the web for 10 straight years.  Well, I guess there's at least
one left wing wacko in Tulsa. And happy first decade anniversary.

Thanks be to Oral and his brother Anal.

Subject: hey, who are you?

The other day the Village Voice did a piece that had my website and a couple
of quotes in it, and I got perhaps 25 hits as a result of that.

Today, you drop in a (edited, but we'll get back to that) quote, and I get like 150.
So who?  Wha?  BartCop?
Either you ride the subway in San Francisco, or your name is Bart.

OK, one gripe: If you edit my quotes (as you did when you changed the casualty rate),
could you please do it the newspaper-geek way?  You know, with the square brackets?
I know that would have probably dulled the impact of the quote... but it's the Way of Truthfulness,
something it would seem you and I are both fighting to uphold.  But not a huge issue, really.

Anyhow, keep up the good work!

Bush Orders Vast New Detention Camps
 Want to split a duplex in British Columbia?

 Link

 Excerpt:
Halliburton just received a $385 million contract from the Bush to provide
"temporary detention and processing capabilities."

The contract calls for preparing for "an emergency influx of immigrants, or to support the rapid
development of new programs" in the event of other emergencies, such as "a natural disaster."
The release offered no details about where Halliburton was to build these facilities, or when.

I think the coming "natural disaster" is Bush getting impeached.
Why is Halliburton getting hundreds of millions more dollars to built giant prisons?

Who's going in there?
Intellectuals, Jews, gypsies and teachers?
 

"Almost certainly this is preparation for a roundup after the next 9/11 for Mid-Easterners,
Muslims and possibly dissenters," says Daniel Ellsberg, the famous former military analyst.
"They've already done this on a smaller scale, with the 'special registration' detentions of
immigrant men from Muslim countries, and with Guantanamo."

Tim soldiers and Monkey coming,
We're finally on our own.

Quagmire costs $100,000 per minute

 Link

 Excerpt:
The White House plans to ask for another $70 billion to pay for Bush's wars, driving the cost of
military operations in the two countries to $120 billion this year, the highest ever. Most of the new money
would pay for the war in Iraq, which has cost an estimated $250 billion since the U.S. invasion in March 2003.

The additional spending, along with other war funding Bush will seek separately in its regular budget next week,
would push the price tag for combat and nation-building since Sept. 11, 2001, to nearly a half-trillion dollars,
approaching the inflation-adjusted cost of the 13-year Vietnam War.

Currently, the DoD is spending $4.5 billion a month on Iraq, about $100,000 per minute.
Current spending in Afghanistan is about $800 million a month, about $18,000 per minute.
 
 

You know what the Republicans are saying?
"That's a lot of money, and we can't really afford it, but at least that money
  isn't going to the darkies or the lazy poor or the self-inflicted queers with AIDS."

Specter Believes Spy Program Violates Law
 But wimpy Democrats say, "Maybe he did, maybe he didn't..."

 Link

 Excerpt:
Tortureboy's explanations so far for Bush's failure to obtain warrants for its domestic spying
are "strained" and "unrealistic," the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman said Sunday.

Sen. Arlen Specter (More balls than a Democrat), whose committee has scheduled hearings Monday,
said he believes Bush violated a 1978 law specifically calling for a secretive court to issue warrants.
Specter, (R-Go Figure), said he might subpoena documents that would detail Bush's justification for the crimes.

"The president could've taken this there and lay it on the line," Specter said.

    "Why are you giving OUR president such a hard time, Arlen?"

Well, they have that Bush-worship thing going on,

Why Republicans Hate Bush
   By Robert Novak, (R-Douchebag)

 Excerpt:
While jumping up on cue to cheer during the speech and delivering rave reviews afterward,
conservative members of Congress were deeply disappointed by Bush's speech Tuesday night.
It was not merely that the president abandoned past domestic goals. He appeared to be moving
toward bigger government. The consensus on the Right was that Bush's fifth SotU was his worst.

Subject: a Finnish fan

Hi, Bartcop!

Just letting you know that you have an ardent fan in Finland, Northern Europe.
Your tequila tree house is one of the very few sites I visit almost daily.

I have lured even my American, conservative wife to read a Bartcop rant every now and then.
Before we got married this summer, she had been thoroughly brainwashed by Fox News.
She had been a leftist prior to 9/11, but, sadly, she had started listening to Sean Hannity
without knowing how to take his words: with a truck-load of salt.

Anyway, with your help, Bartcop, I have been able to drive a few points home with my wife.
We live in Finland now. So far, people here have enjoyed almost free health care and education,
plus relatively large wages for working class.Why should we go along with the crappy right-wing
politics and agree that it is best if a small percentage of people gets almost all the benefits of
economic growth while the others have to settle for less than they have now.

Thanks for the sanity you bring to my life.
All the best,

Pauli
 

Pauli, thanks for that.
Stay warm.

24's Jack Bauer in Patriot Act Fray

 Link

 Excerpt:
During a commercial break while the fictional Bauer was desperately searching for canisters of deadly
nerve gas that had fallen into the hands of terrorists, viewers in the DV area saw an ad questioning the
wisdom of senators who would "weaken" the Patriot Act.    "What if they are wrong?" the ad asked.

It marked a blurring of Hollywood fantasy with political reality that represented a sharp departure even in
the no-holds-barred world of political campaign advertising.
 

I think the show is very anti-Bush.

Several seasons have featured traitorous White House bastards murdering for fun and profit.
They even talked about why the White House would intentionally start a false war so they 
could get their precious pipeline to bring oil to the Gulf so the Ameri-bastards could make 
hundreds of billions of dollars without caring for the thousands they were murdering.

Jack Bauer may be GOP, but Keifer is one of us.

If Kerry acted like a leader and threatened to filibuster Alito within 24 hours

He had to be shamed into keeping his damn 2003 promise by certain websites.

Clooney's output might be more serious, but he's not. Asked what social issues, beyond the power
of the press in Good Night and oil-industry corruption in Syriana, he wants to tackle next and he jokes,
"I want to do a film about clown drug addicts. It's a big political issue in the next election cycle."

Actually, George, it was a big political issue the last 2-3 elections,

...but the Democrats were too polite to mention it.

You remember I told you about my fancy new CD replicator?
I put in a CD that I want to copy and then add up to four blanks,
and then with touch one button, it makes four perfect copies of the original?

Trouble is, CD orders tend to come in one-at-a-time.
And if I only make them one at a time, I might as well just use a computer.

So what I need for you to do is to ask 3 or 7 or 11 of your friends to also buy CDs.
That way I can finally get some mileage out of the multiple duplicator.
