Dr. Justin Frank ("B*sh on the Couch") scary new article:"Dangers of a Cornered George B*sh"

and must-see interview!

In Dr. Frank's Aug 9 interview with Ceny Ugyur, he discusses the article, along with his coming update to 'Bush on the Couch" ("B*sh keeps rewriting it for me") and his "main worry" that B*sh will start another war. Dr. Frank believes B*sh WILL TRY to bomb Iran, unless stopped. He describes B*sh's character as "very psychopathic, very narcissistic and very grandiose" and that he has to "break things".

About the article, Dr. Frank said he was approached "about a month ago" by a group of former CIA agents ("Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity") who were familiar with his applied psychoanalysis of B*sh in "B*sh on the Couch", and very concerned about how the president might respond to a variety of possible setbacks, confrontations and events out of his control-- pertaining to Iraq and Iran. It is actually a Frank-VIPS collaboration. Scary stuff.

Editor’s Note: As the nation and the world face 18 more months of George W. Bush’s presidency, a chilling prospect is that Bush – confronted with more defeats and reversals – might just “lose it” and undertake even more reckless military adventures.

In this special memorandum, the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) collaborated with psychiatrist Justin Frank, author of Bush on the Couch, to assess the potential dangers and possible countermeasures available to constrain Bush:

Recent events have put a great deal more pressure on President George W. Bush, who has shown little regard for the constitutional system bequeathed to us by the Founders. Having bragged about being commander in chief of the “first war of the 21st century,” one he began under false pretenses, success in Iraq is now a pipedream.

There is an outside chance Congress will succeed in forcing a pullout starting in the next several months. What would the president likely do in reaction to that slap in the face?

What would he do if the Resistance succeeded in mounting a large attack on U.S. facilities in the Green Zone or elsewhere in Iraq? How would he react if Israel mounted a preemptive attack on the nuclear-related facilities in Iran and wider war ensued?

<snip>

As we watched the pressure build on President Bush, looked toward the additional challenges we expect him to face over the next 18 months, and pondered his tendency to disregard the law and the Constitution, we felt very much in need of professional help in trying to estimate what kinds of decisions he is likely to make.

Dr. Frank, it turned out, had been thinking along the same lines, when we asked to meet with him just three weeks ago. What follows is a collaborative Frank-VIPS effort, with the psychological insights volunteered by Dr. Frank, who shares the imperative we feel to draw on all disciplines to assess what courses of action President George W. Bush is likely to decide upon in reacting to reverse after reverse in the coming months.

much more...

individual.

One individual can always go off the rails, whether he is an isolated madman on a street corner or holder of the most powerful office in the world. The danger is in blind loyalty to him rather than to some higher ideal such as a constitution.

An observer of Bush will recognize in him the prankster who shouts "fire!" in a crowded theater or pulls a fire alarm just to watch the frightened people run and the fire trucks arrive.

Also he's been stacking the military officer corps with fundies since he got in office.

Onward Christian Soldiers, Marching Now to War....

screaming in his closet. His officer corps and the compliant fearful careerist congress will be the end of us all, if it comes to that.

If we give him enough time, he WILL do it.

saying smirk is cornered is kool aide

Thanks

welcome.

The downhill slide has been a little too gradual to get people upset.

Boil, baby, boil!
