WTF Is It Now?!?

Can't I have just one day where something in the news doesn't piss me off?! I guess the answer to that is NO.

"I hope an administration spokesman will explain why we are sending 150,000 troops to overthrow Saddam Hussein when we wouldn't send in 5,000 to capture or kill bin Laden." - Joe Conason, obviously living in the same fantasy land I'm in.




Gassing his own people
"We know what a disarmed country looks like. And uhhhhhhh....Iraq doesn't look like that." - the number-than-wet-noodles Court-Appointed Crackhead, 2/10/03.

Bunnypants national security adviser, Condoleezza 'Chevronwhore' Rice, met in New York on Tuesday with Hans Blix, urging him to tell the U.N. on Friday that that Iraq has failed to disarm.

Please, pulleeeze, we'll do anything! You can become a junior partner in the Carlyle Group, just like Tony Blair! You can live in a beautiful, well-appointed undisclosed bunker, with 77 virgins personally chosen by John Ashcroft! I'll tattoo your name on my - uhhhhhh, tanker! Hans, baby!

The administration fears Blix's report, coming at a time when the warmongering AWOL wonderboob and former incompetant oil exec pResident Dumbass is trying to keep the little people from whining about the tanking economy bolster his poll numbers case for war, will be less decisive than his January statement to the U.N. The issue is expected to come to a head as early as next week when the United States and Britain seek a U.N. resolution condemning Iraq's actions as a prelude to potential war.

...for the vast oilfields of Iraq, which, surprise surprise, will come under the control of a U.S. general for at least two years.

Meanwhile, Rep./pisswad Tom Lantos, DINO-California, is in serious need of a good asskicking.




Open letter to our friends in Europe
"Many of us in America are doing everything in our power to change our government's policy toward Iraq. However, we fear this war cannot be stopped without the strong support of the people of European nations. Please sign this letter/petition thanking our friends in Europe and asking them to stand in solidarity with us this weekend against the Bush administration's push to make war on Iraq." - Please go to MoveOn.org and sign the letter!




WH flips nation the bird again
Adults-in-charge say 'who cares what you think?', take their ball and go home.
The White House yesterday rejected Democratic requests for more information about Miguel Estrada, further cementing a stalemate that threatens to kill uniter, not divider Emperor Snippy's nomination.

"The president is not going to back down on this," said Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin 'Dumber than Dogmeat' Hatch. "We've just begun to fight."

Bush and Senate republicans maintain Estrada deserves to be confirmed, but Senate Democrats say Estrada dodged a number of questions about his judicial views at a confirmation hearing last year, making him a "stealth candidate."

In a letter to Bush on Tuesday, Senate Democrats said they would block a vote on Estrada until he answers their questions. They also asked to see a memorandum he wrote on various legal cases while an assistant U.S. solicitor general.

Senate republicans and White House aides said on Tuesday they expected the administration to reject the demands, and on Wednesday they did so. Nice. - from here, more or less.



"In our country it used to be that oceans could protect us - at least we thought so. There was wars on other continents, but we were safe." - the churchillian, AWOL from the National Guard, poppy-protected pReznit Privilege, 2/10/03.
