BUSH: "I'm sure people view me as a war monger and I view myself as peacemaker"

[kpete]

.."I have talked to these leaders face to face," he said. "I have asked them point blank, 'Do you understand how difficult these issues are?' Yes. 'Are you prepared to make the painful political compromises?' They say they are."

Despite that optimism, the president also said that he does feel misunderstood in the Middle East.

"My image (is) 'Bush wants to fight Muslims.' And, yes, I'm concerned about it. Not because of me, personally. I'm concerned because I want most people to understand the great generosity and compassion of Americans," he said.

"I'm sure people view me as a war monger and I view myself as peacemaker," the president said. "They view me as so pro-Israeli I can't be open-minded about Palestinian peace, and yet I'm the only president ever to have articulated a two-state solution. And you just have to fight through stereotypes by actions."

4. He views himself as a peacemaker

Just like Ted Bundy viewed himself as a philanthropist.

5. He's right. He's not a "war monger."

He's a "war criminal." The GOP corporate media are the war mongers.

7. I don't care what he views himself as, although I find it interesting from a forensic

psychioevaluative perspective.

Bush is seriously mentally ill or retarded.
