Maybe he really believes his own BS

[pnutchuck]

President Bush on Thursday said, "Based on all the information we have today, I believe we were right to take action, and America is safer today with Saddam Hussein in prison. He retained the knowledge, the materials, the means, and the intent to produce weapons of mass destruction." http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/iraq/

Is is possible that his own zealousness compells to believe this BS? I know the WH site is only propaganda, but I think it's wise to see what shit they are throwing out to that moral majority who thinks Jesus has given this lunatic a mandate.

1. is so. he is as mad as he is ignorant.

[Warpy]

2. Of course he believes that bullshit

It's not like there's anyone within earshot to contradict him. He lives in a bubble, protected from reality, safe from anyone who might interject a discordant note of reality into his fantasy world.

3. I don't think the guy is playing with a full deck

and that he's surrounded by sycophants who are also cunning and evil, who manipulate him into giving them what they want. And that is, let the corporations run the country.

I don't know if dub ever had a full deck, to be honest. It's entirely possible he believes he's some sort of savior on a white horse (scratch the horse-- he just signed a bill that allows for the slaughter of thousands of horses) who is the answer to everyone's prayer.

I've given up trying to figure him out-- but I would venture to say he's a puppet and he's definitely "not all there"

4. Seems everything about bush is faith-based, doesn't it?

[pnutchuck]

5. I just can't understand how our country that is supposedly

sophisticated, can accept this man whose claims resemble that of a despot. Don't they teach European history in schools anymore? Didn't we liberate ourselves from tyranny and religious oppression?

12. biggest mystery on earth today....

bush's success in the US. Part can be credited to the BFEE and the world omnipotenti (that is omnipotent in everything but reducing poverty, racism, hatred, stupidity, inequality income disparity and hopelessness among the oppressed etc) who have an evil scheme to hog all good things to themselves/their hideous spawn but there's something else too.....bush is a bullying thug with a crafty aspect who could make it doing anything if only thanks to the confidence his fortunate son status giives him, even rising to position of US prez is obviously possible (hey, the proof's the proof!) and the very things many see as weakness gives a pol like geebush a natural constituent (see HL mencken) but again is it possible some kind of mass psychosis has been nurtured for years, and the trigger to get a majority (that is, 50 percent plus one) to support a dolt like geebush is....maybe something we are aware of but no one can put finger on, in the mass media....an unstated, undefined, virtually untraceable quality that's best described as contempt for humanity....iow the more the social controllers (i'm referring to US/west/1st world/wired world only) want to outrage intelligent observers who use logic based on truth to arrive at conclusions is by ratcheting up the level of contempt for the people, which automatically trips an 'i'm special, not part of the mass of people' instinct in bush's supporters; the idea being that by supporting bush, his supporters are achieving a kind of distinction, which they see in each other. The template is, on the surface, self defeating, but why does anyone think that the powerful accepted the verdict of the french, mexican russian or Iranian revolutions, much less the social moral or cultural revolutions in our times?....why do we think the defeat of the south, the defeat of hitler, the overthrow of feudalism or even end of slavery, were good things? we assume they are, but the busheviks obviously think otherwise. David frum, a bushevik racist pig extrordinaire, said that the fall of berlin wall in '89 was the END of the french revolution!....and he meant that the aristocracy (which frum somehow identifies himself with) WON, finally. It's no joke that the SOUTH finally won the US civil war (which makes all bush supporters traitors) and the nazis won the 2nd world war....when that goofy jackass won the White House

14. Very interesting points

A longer more explanatory way of saying "history is written by the winners" And in the span of time and historical truths, another 100 or so years may show the changes of those truths as identified by you above.

6. So Did Hitler.

7. They All Believe It

That is what is so insidious. Zealots always believe they are right.

[robbedvoter]

8. He is always right - when he drunk, dugged, stole elections, ran from

harm's way - always, always right!

[Malva Zebrina]

9. He repeats that lie, over and over and over and over

and NO ONE in any position of authority, challenges that lie and never has.

NO ONE--

in fact, our congress granted him permission to do as he likes with it, knowing his despicable tendency to utterly lie and knowing he was lying to the UN time after time.

NO ONE--get that? NO ONE.

NO ONE calls this fascist, war mongerer on his LIES.

11. It helps when he doesn't read the newspapers or his reports and

his staff doesn't brief him with anything that is contradictory.

[vixengrl]

13. He reminds me at times of someone who trips,

bobs and weaves, flails wildly, and then lands in a god-awful heap, and follows it up with--"I *meant* to do that!" He's a compulsive cover-up artist. And he seems committed to the principal that what is said counts for more than what's done. You look at these medals he gave out recently--the gesture goes for more than what was *done*. He picked Kerik for Homeland Security because what the man did didn't matter so much as what could be said. You can see in in the kind of speeches he and the people around him give--putting new meanings on words like "Success" and "mandate" and "recovery." I've never seen so much Turtle Wax on turds before.
