To poke his head out of his protective bubble. I am personally quite happy to keep it that way.

If I never hear from him again it will be too soon.

You are welcome to listen to his psycho babble if you like but I am glad to be done with it.

The props are gone, the ranch is sold, the boots and cowboy hat have not been seen since he left! There never were any cattle, or horses that I remember. It's stunning that anyone fell for the 'cowboy act'. That would make a great study of human gullibility and what causes otherwise rational people to accept such an obvious act, as real.

I think the reason he has not spoken out at all is because he believes a former president should not speak up during the following president's term. I don't recall Clinton speaking up about foreign policy when W was president.

For losers of Presidential elections like Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, et al.

Palin and Romney did not win and left a seat like Bush and and Clinton did.

And I give him credit for it because it's the right thing to do. If only Cheney could stop flapping his gums as well, we'd all be better off.

about 'speaking up' during this president's term. And since Cheney was the real president I doubt your theory has much validity.

Bush was a puppet, a pretend cowboy, who, as he told us himself had the 'difficult job' of 'catapulting the propaganda', that was his role. Cheney was the mastermind. Along with his gang of war criminals, who still appear to be influencing policy in this country instead of residing in jail somewhere for the rest of their lives.

Has W been to the ranch lately? Any photo of him 'clearing brush'? Lol.

You have to hand it to them, that they could turn an elitest from the NE into a 'Texas Cowboy' and fool at least half the country with the act. They should be in Hollywood.

I always laughed when I saw him strutting around in his boots and hat. I don't believe the man will be bothered by all of this bloodshed and terror one bit. Completely agree that he sees his role as over, and his mission accomplished. He doesn't care enough about the people of Iraq to devote any more of his valuable, hard-earned rest-time to thinking about any of it. He never did. Shades of mommy - 'why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?'

Having seen him removing any brush lately though. That was 'hard work' for the cameras.

But Cheney otoh, that is who will hear from I am guessing, if the WH doesn't act 'appropriately' to 'prevent the dire threat of terrorism' that now exists in Iraq, against US'. I expect to hear that, 'this could pose a threat to the US'.

If it wasn't so tragic for so many people, it would be almost funny, the entire scam.

...a great success. Or, he thought it did not matter as the end times were near. That's the impression I got...

But I doubt he saw much of the country. He's an artist now, no more cowboy talk from him. Cheney will do that if necessary.

And I think this is what he meant.

I suspect he feels the same way.

I thought everything would be brighter?

No time to talk about the mess in Iraq though.

I was thinking he looked wasted.

I hope that I am right on this. I am fully expecting Cheney to be making comments but I am hoping that bush will not

They don't need him to say anything publicly anymore. He did his job well helping to lie this country into a horrific war. That was the goal when they stole the election, one way or another.

Cheney hasn't stopped injecting his war criminal voice whenever he thinks the war machine needs a boost.

from public life.

over there or take any responsibility for the death and destruction that took place.

Nipples, I say.

Oh god, I needed a laugh today....



On second thought, W and nipples need not be thought about in the same brain at the same time....argh....

You didn't include any photos.

substance outside his inner circle...although I would love to think he is worried
about any further torture revelations that may still surface. One can only hope
on that front.

Clinton was something of an exception.

Former presidents usually don't weigh in publicly when a crisis is going on because it could be seen as undermining the current president's plans and strategies.

political customs still matter? Things have changed. There are no customs. If there is a reason for his lack of opinion, it rests simply in the loudness of his silence. Whatever that silence means in his case it's ominous, not a custom.

We don't even observe the Rule of Law anymore, who would they care about customs? However he may resist being dragged away from art work to go catapult some more propaganda and he HAS lost some of the carefully crafted 'tough guy' aura so probably not the first choice to push for more war right now.

Every time they are on stage for politics is upsetting. There is this mystery in the background that the mainstream media are still key players for another phony Bush war.

It would not surprise me at all if a real investigation surfaced that showed those terrorist activities is financed with American money.

Perhaps channeled by the Arab Bin Laden family for favors to perpetuate the unrest and further the Bush Cheney profiteering. Even consider the Cheney mercenaries, the shadow army the loyal crazies that fight for money only.

Historically it is easier to make the argument that this part of the world is the Bush/ Cheney wild card for family profiteering at American tax payer expense. It needs to stop.

The only way to end this is a constant dialog that tells the truth about the Bush family crime syndicate. Having enough dialog that diminishes that low information voter is a key principle to change in American politics.

To be able to educate the voter through constant informative dialog that helps people understand not to vote for anyone connected to the Bush family.

If they cannot be convicted of war crimes at least prevent any Bush/Cheney from entering politics forever. Then take back the money they profiteered with young American men and women that sacrificed their life.

However, George P. could be the next Bush to be a rising star. 2024 might be a scary time, particularly if Hillary wins in 2016 and serves two terms.

The man's busy with other things.

Frankly, I am glad beyond words that we don't see or hear him any more. I only wish Darth Cheney would STFU.

he doesn't have the self confidence that the others in his cabal has

...stuff gets.

And Iraq was a neocon joyride, and they used more than one country.
