"It would appear that the great divide in both
public opinion and between politicians is not
Republican-Democrat, liberal-conservative
or even pro or anti-war. Rather, the great divide
is between those, such as me, who believe
that the rise of radical Islam poses an existential
threat to Western Civilization; and those
who believe it is a nuisance, if, episodically, a very
dangerous nuisance."

Hey Tony, if you guys take al Qaeda seriously, why did Der Monkey stay
on vacation after
Harriet Miers read him the PDB that warned, "Bin
Laden determined to strike in US soon?"
Second, if we're fighting for our survival, as you claim, why are we
fighting it on the cheap?
Why did Bush insist that 120,000 soldiers would be plenty when the
generals wanted 400,000 soldiers?
Third, if our survival depends on winning this war, why is that a great
time to cut taxes on the super-rich?
Only a moron would try to tax-cut his way to a military victory.

Exaggerating
al-Qaeda's Threat
by Ivan Eland
Excerpt:
Michael Chertoff, Bush's crony at Homeland Security,
desperately tried to refute Zbigniew Brzezinski's
cogent charge that the administration has hyped
the "war on terror" to promote a "culture of fear."
In addition to shamefully smearing Brzezinski
by associating him with the fringe opinion that the administration
plotted the 9/11 terrorist acts, Chertoff also
declared, "Al-Qaeda and its ilk have a world vision that is
comparable to that of historical totalitarian
ideologues but adapted to the 21st-century global network."
This rhetoric makes it seem as if al-Qaeda is
more dangerous than Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin.
When comparisons are made to these villainous
titans, we should be suspicious.

Mystery
of the Missing Meters
How Much Iraqi Crude Oil is Being Stolen? April
30, 2007
Excerpt:
Nobody really knows how much crude oil is being
stolen by corrupt Iraqi officials because,
four years after the invasion, the oil meters
haven't been fixed.
Heavily armed soldiers spend their days at the
oil terminals scanning the horizon looking for
suicide bombers and stray fishing boats. Meanwhile,
right under their noses, American
smugglers
are diverting billions of dollars worth of crude
onto tankers because the oil metering system that is
supposed to monitor the crude has not worked
since the March 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq.
This story gets repeated on the web ever few weeks, but the American
whore media won't touch it.
It's the reason why we went to war with Iraq - but no
BIG reporter has the balls to bring it up.
We have 3351 dead soldiers and unmetered wells is the reason, but shhhh - nobody can know.
This is why Bush won't leave Iraq - he's stealing 2-5 million barrels every day.
Doesn't

Rice to House: Drop Dead
Excerpt:
Super Sleazy Condi Rice (R-Bush's Monica) made
it clear Sunday that she does not plan to comply
with a subpoena that the House Oversight and
Government Reform Committee authorized this week.
Panel Chairman Henry Waxman wants Rice to testify
on the administration's false claim that Iraq was
seeking to acquire uranium from Niger. The congressman
feels that Rice has not been responsive enough
to repeated written requests for information
on the issue.
She can't answer questions under oath - so she can't testify.
Will the Democrats push the issue or cave in and drop the subject?

"The Bush Administration is circling the drain
and taking the Republican Party with
them."
-- AboveTheClouds, Link
That's very true, and one by one, the GOP rats will have to abandon ship.
If the Democrats knew how to play hardball, they would REFUSE to allow
the GOP rats
to jump ship later - force them to jump ship right f-ing now.
If they jump ship in 2008, which they'll have to do to keep their power,
the Dems COULD
accuse them of an election year conversion, thus playing politics with
soldiers' lives.
Right now we have 3351 dead. When any elected republican rat jumps,
say in February of 08,
we might have 4500 dead soldiers - and - because the rats played politics,
another 1150 military
families are destroyed because
the GOP doesn't care about military families.
It's so easy to build traps like that - but they just can't figure a way to do it.
All any candidate has to say is, "Bob, you
know you'll have to split from Bush
sooner or later, so why not do it now and
help us save those soldiers' lives?"
That puts the Fascist mook in a box!
Doesn't anyone understand what that phrase means?
No matter what the GOP rat does, the video of the taunt can be re-played
1,000 times.
The GOP rat has 3 choices:
He can switch now
and save those lives.
He can switch later
to save his job, and when he does you play the tape of
the Dem asking him to save those lives that were
lost by his political foot-dragging.
He never switches,
he loses his seat, Obama gets a super-majority in both houses.
It's so
easy to build traps like
that - but the Democrats can't figure a way to do it.
Democrats are so helpless - they need a brain with an IQ of 64 to help
them.
But no, they don't want to win if the truth might embarrass their good
friends, the GOP rats,
who will tell every outrageous lie in the book while the Democrats
turn the other damn cheek.
How did I get in this party of can't-think quitters and losers?

Subject: stop supporting the troops
On the fourth anniversary of "Mission Accomplished,"
it's clear that Bush has the war so screwed up
that it's not winnable. We don't even know who
the enemy is and every day we are there hurts America.
We elected the Democrats to get us out of Iraq,
not to pass non-binding symbolic votes. It's time for Democrats
to pull the plug. Supporting the troops is supporting
the war. Voting for funding is the same as reauthorizing the war.
Why should we keep sending soldiers to die for
nothing?
It's time to pull the plug and get out now.

Quotes
The country would be safer by only "a small
percentage" and would see "a very insignificant
increase in safety" if Bush made good on his
vow to catch Osama because another terrorist
would rise to power. "It's not worth moving
heaven and earth spending billions of dollars just
trying to catch one person..."
-- Mitt Romney, content to let Osama get away with
it. Link
If that's true, why does the right-wing mud machine keep insisting that
we would've had no 9-11 if Clinton had murdered Osama back in 1998?
They can't have it both ways unless the Democrats allow them to
lie repeatedly and openly as they've done in the past.
I hope we end up with a fighter in 2008.

Romney:
I'm not the only flip-flopper
"McCain does it, Rudy does it, Bush does it..."
Excerpt:
Romney defended his series of "shifts" on issues,
arguing that his top rivals also have flip-flopped.
"Every Republican is this race is flip-flopping,
why single me out?" he begged.
"McCain voted against the Bush tax cuts. Now he's
for them. He was opposed to ethanol. Now he's for it.
He said he was opposed to overturning Roe v.
Wade. Now he's for overturning it," Romney said, adding:
"that suggests that the slimy McCain worm
has a spine of jello."
OK, maybe those weren't his exact words,
but the GOP's top three are flip-flopping champions.
If the Democrats had any desire to win, (Why
do I torture myself this way?) they'd point that out
in the general election - but - they have a history
of failing to list Republican lies and it has cost us dearly.

That's because FDR wasn't a walking handjob with dollar signs making

Bush is so stupid he STILL says "9-11 proved
to me that the oceans won't protect us."
He still says that, even tho Pearl Harbor was 66 years ago,
the idiot.
...and why doesn't somebody tell that asshole to stop dancing and playing

I like a man with a strong opinion.
Her best defense for her war vote was not, "I

It was "I did not vote for the war." What

She's a lawyer and a good one. She chose her words
carefully because,
as a certain vulgar Pigboy used to say, "Words
mean things."
Tell me - did you forgive Kerry for the same vote?
Or did he get a pass in 2004 because he's a man?
That is like Bush's defense for "stay the course"
"We have never been stay the course."
Well, he lies a lot.
If we are stuck with her for a presidential candidate we could lose.
Sure, a pair of Queens has no guarantee
to win a poker pot,
but it sure beats being stuck with a hand like
10-6.
Also Kucinich sounded pretty presidential. He kicked ass in the debate.
Dennis screwed up by not reading Bart's Laws!

Subject: 9-11 talk
Mr. Bart, "legendary blogger Bart" - how sweet the sound !! Good on ya
And thank you for starting to post links about
the lie that is 9/11.
It's vitally important that Bartcoppers have
the FACTS about this.
Prison Planet is a good source (as is MikeRivero@whatreallyhappened.com).
Hadn't seen the 9/11blimp site before - thanks
for this new link.
"Kerry stated that he was not aware of the research"
of Dr. Steven Jones. This is beyond preposterous!!
9/11 was the pivotal event of this century and
this senator doesn't know about Dr. Jones' research?
These congresscritters never seem to have a clue
about the most important issues of our country, whereas
the general populace (or at least those who work
the Inter-tubes) know exactly what Dr. Jones has found.
This is just like the mea culpas of 'if we knew
then (2003) that there were no WMDs in Iraq'
although millions around the world who marched
on 2/15/03 KNEW - and loudly shouted -
that there were no WMDs and that the FuriousGeorgeCabal
was lying us into an illegal invasion.
I think "suspected" would be more accurate than
"knew," since so few
of those millions of marchers have their own
personal CIA to advise them.
We don't get paid one red hammering cent to know
Facts and Truth. But these congresscritters
are the supposed 'experts' on issues vital to
the USA - although they all sound like Dunces of the First Water.
What the hell do we pay these ignorants for?
Or as Mr. Bart says, need I finish that statement?
ggggrrrrrrrrr!

I agree that every member of congress should know more about this stuff
than we do.
Hell, they never bothered to read the Patriot Act I or II.

Subject: Dow hits 13000
Hey Bart,
The disinfo-spin MSM is still hard at work.
When the Dow Jones hit 13000, we were told
this is evidence of "how good we're doing" and
that foreign investment is pouring in. BULL-SPIN!
The dollar is falling so hard so fast the NYSE
is having a fire sale for everyone except Americans.
If your wealth is in British Pounds then the
Dow just hit 6500. Add to this, the fact that banks are
off-loading mortgages to Chinese banks heavy
with Wal-Mart dollars and you begin to see a worrisome trend.
After decades of fearmongering that "invaders"
will attack, they may simply wait a little longer and foreclose,
without firing a shot. (Seems I've heard those
words before.)
Sam in Alabama
Clinton took the Dow from 3500 to 12,500.
Bush takes it to 13,000 (after six years) and they praise the Murder
Monkey.
I remember Laura the Harpy saying,
"What good is a great economy, peace
and prosperity of the President is having sex?"
Molly Ivins nailed it.
Having a great economy means you get to
keep your house and your car. It means you can afford
braces and clothes for the kids. It means
you can take a vacation and unwind from the nit-picking
troubles of your job. It means you can
actually go to the doctor when you feel bad and insurance
will soften the blow. It even means that
Dad doesn't hit Mom anymore, because he's not cracking up
from the stress of trying to making ends
meet, but they never do.
Today, we have 3351 dead soldiers, we're losing a World War and the
Treasury is empty
but that's OK because the president's not having sex, unless you count
Jeff Gannon.
"Jeff,

cops shoot 92-year old Lady
...another marijuana related death
Excerpt:
Two police officers pleaded guilty Thursday to
manslaughter in the shooting death of a
92-year-old woman during a botched drug raid
last fall. A third officer still faces charges.
The charges followed a Nov. 21 "no-knock" drug
raid on the home of Kathryn Johnston, 92.
An informant had described buying drugs from
a dealer there, police said. When the plainclothes
officers burst in without notice, Johnston
fired at them, and they fired back, killing her.
When the cops found no drugs in Johnston's
home, Officer Smith planted three bags
of marijuana in the home as part of a cover
story.
So there you have it - more proof that pot kills.

David Broder
is a gasbag
by Paul Begala
Excerpt:
Broder has been foaming at the mouth. He's been
downright venomous lately. And what has put the
Benzedrine in Broder's Ovaltine? Not the fact
that Bush continues to lie about "progress" in the war.
Or that Cheney continues to lie about pre-invasion
links between al Qaeda and Iraq. Or that Bush has
neglected our wounded warriors, ignored the victims
of Katrina, potentially obstructed justice by firing
US Attorneys who were pursuing GOP wrongdoing.
Not even that Bush lied to the families of Pat Tillman
and Jessica Lynch, cynically using their blood
to distract from their own incompetence and dishonesty.
No, none of this raises Dean Broder's hackles.
He reserves his vitriol for Harry Reid.
How much longer can Harry Reid hold onto his job?
Wouldn't anybody be better?
And that Denny Stoyer (whatever) who got the top job at the House -
has he done anything?
It would be nice to have our top people at the important positions.

All the
President's Press
by Frank Rich
Excerpt:
That state of denial was center stage at the
correspondents' dinner last year, when Stephen Colbert
"fell flat," as the WaHoPo summed up the local
consensus. To the astonishment of those in attendance,
the video of Colbert's performance became
a national sensation. (Last week it was still No. 2 among
audiobook downloads on iTunes.) Washington wisdom
had it that Colbert bombed because he was rude
to the president. His real sin was to be rude
to the capital press corps, whom he caricatured as stenographers.
Though most of the Washington audience failed
to find the joke funny, Americans elsewhere, having paid a
heavy price for the press's failure to challenge
White House propaganda about Iraq, laughed until it hurt.
