Rep. Stark Accuses Bush of Terrorism

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.

If Bush was like Saddam, we would have sent troops to the San Francisco Bay Area to "explain" things to Pete and his buddies with cattle prods and rubber hoses - after illustrating the cost of disagreeing with the ruling junta with their wives and children, of course.
Lying Left appeasenik.

Useful idiot alert. Pete Stark also thinks the Boy Scouts are terrorists. I have to say this: I ran in the 2000 Primary (CA Dist 13) but a "country club" Republican beat me. I did come in third place over all. It doesn't matter. Stark is the hero to that district's voting morons. They are addicted to Stark's policies. They deserve Pete Stark in Fremont, Hayward, Newark, etc. I heard Pete Stark say, "I'm a pacifist". So there you have it. For victory & freedom!!!

That creature on the right looks like a villain from a grade-B Kung Fu movie. He looks like he had plastic surgery to make himself look like Michael Jackson.
