Bush slams bin Laden as "this man who grew up in wealth...
and privilege" and who sends others to their deaths "though he never offers to go along for the ride". There's certainly no irony in THAT statement. Holy shit, as improbable as it seems, Bush may actually be as dumb as he looks.

(Scroll down to the 19th paragraph. The fool revealed in his own words.)

4. Bush does a lot of that
Looking through his comments on Kim Jong and Hussein reads like an exercise in projection.

6. No, I think it was intentional.
It has occurred to me that Bush is there to perpetuate war, thus permanently enriching his defense contractor buddies.

So he goes out of his way to make Muslims and others hate him every bit as much as we hate "Osama." It only works if he antagonizes them as much as they antagonize us.

I think comments like this are calculated to generate maximum anger.

This creates a permanent conflict, which creates permanent profit.

12. Yeah, we discussed that here last week,
right after he made the speech.

What a hoot.

Now he's established the fact that HE CANNOT READ.

Surprise.

13. But, George, at least he "grew up..."
And if you were really serious about going after terrorists, you'd be bombing the hell out of you friends and business partners, the Saudis.

15. When Bush talks about Osama, he always sounds like ...
He always sounds like he's talking about HIMSELF. Always.

"He hates freedom! He thinks God is telling him what to do. He wants to impose his way of life on others."

Yeah, bizzatch, that's you!!

Also - see the paragraph at the top of the page:

"There's always a temptation, in the middle of a long struggle, to seek the quiet life, to escape the duties and problems of the world, and to hope the enemy grows weary of fanaticism and tired of murder. This would be a pleasant world, but it's not the world we live in."

Unless you're George W. Bush.

29. Somewhere In Dubya's Mind, His Conscience Is At Work
Somewhere in Dubya's mind, buried under tons of conceit, right-wing debris, and indifference, his conscience is trying to speak up and speak out. I bet that Dubya wasn't listening very closely, though.
