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.

Sure, but which one is he?



Ha, couldn't resist

I don't think San Fransico would be the target. To many of the islamofacists own there.

The problem with these people is that they don't realize that the reason that 3000 bombs may get dropped on Iraq is to prevent even 1 bomb from being dropped in the U.S.A.

Just like George McGovern back in 1972. Until I read Mona Charen's "Useful Idiots", I frankly had no idea just how far to the left this guy actually was--he bordered on communism!

...Of course, back in '72 I was only 10 years old and living in a household that voted Democrat.

Talk about people ignoring their history! It looks like the Dims are doing just that.

Let's give Nevada oceanfront property!

Actually, the San Andreas fault would eliminate most of the left.

This just in: Pete has legally changed his name to Pete Starkravingmad!

That the (long missing) model for The Sphinx has finally been located.

At first glance I simply thought he looked like an a-hole. However, upon send look--you are so right!!

Dear Idiot Stark,

Perhaps you never heard of 9/11?

Perhaps you've never had a coherent, sane thought in your life?

Perhaps you need to get your head out of where the sun doesn't shine?

Perhaps you need to resign from congress and the human race in that order!

I wonder what it would be like for him to come and go from his house--with his house surrounded by retired vets and flags and uniforms and M-16'S & lots of FREEPER type patriotic slogans on signs 24 hours a day.

Nah, he wouldn't learn a thing. Brain dead, if there was a brain to die in the first place.

Hey Idiot Stark--just because you graduated magna cum ultra stupeeeedo from her hideous heinous bwitch Shrillary's village idiot school--you DON'T have to run around proving it so liberally and so destructively to our nation! Just crawl in a rattler's hole and shut your face!

This man and all of his peaceniks should be arrested for sedition. I heard the law read today by an attorney, and this fits.
