Rep. Stark Accuses Bush of Terrorism

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

Rep. Pete Stark, D-Calif., likens President Bush to a terrorist and genocidal Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

"I think unleashing 3,000 smart bombs against the city of Baghdad in the first several days of the war ... to me, if those were unleashed against the San Francisco Bay Area, I would call that an act of extreme terrorism," Stark, a longtime appeasement activist and one of the most left-wing Democrats in Congress, told the San Francisco Chronicle on Tuesday.

Responding to reports that U.S. forces planned to fire as many as 3,000 laser- and satellite-guided missiles on Iraq in the first days of a military campaign, he said:

"You can't send in 3,000 bombs without some of them going awry, in spite of the military's claims about accuracy. If they get two-thirds accuracy that means that 1,000 bombs will explode inside a city of 6 million people. To me, that's a terrorist act."

He told the Oakland Tribune on Monday that an attack on Iraq would be "blood on Bush's hands."

Another Left Coast Democrat, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, defended Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle's latest attack on President Bush.

"In expressing his views, Tom Daschle is being patriotic," Pelosi insisted. "The Republican leaders are being partisan."

And then there was America's most famous former Klansman, Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., now sounding more like a Frenchman than a cross burner. "Today I weep for my country," he said Wednesday.

"No more is the image of America one of strong, yet benevolent peacekeeper. ... Around the globe, our friends mistrust us, our word is disputed, our intentions are questioned.

"We flaunt our superpower status with arrogance. After war has ended the United States will have to rebuild much more than the country of Iraq. We will have to rebuild America's image around the globe," Byrd grumbled.

"We flaunt our superpower status with arrogance. After war has ended the United States will have to rebuild much more than the country of Iraq. We will have to rebuild America's image around the globe," Byrd grumbled...

"...which is why I'll be asking the Senate Appropriations Committee for six billion dollars in emergence funding to build a new six lane highway in my home State of West Virginia, and another 1 billion dollars to build a statute in Wheeling of a person who looks a hell of lot like me."

That guy's hair is as attractive and as well-thought-out as his philosophy.

Let me say this right, ala Dixie Chicks.

I'm ashamed that Congressman Stark is from California.
