Bush

I do not think President Bush is amused by the deaths of American soldiers. I do not think that he has a healthy manner of processing their death, however. I believe he thinks that he is the one who is bearing the burden. He is not.

I do think that President Bush displayed a disturbing delight in the capture and death of Saddam Hussein. I think Saddam was a terrible human being. But I think President Bush had an unhealthy lust for his destruction.

I am sure that President Bush does not feel any responsibility for the suffering and death of the thousands of innocent victims of his violence in Iraq. That is perhaps the most pathological of all of his traits.

Because he's a sick stupid fuck.

that he reminds me of some of the guys I used to provide services to in the county jail group.

rake in the millions...

a seriously sick fugg.

to regognizr other people as individual people with human worth and dignity is a rather diagnostic trait.

He said they were being sent to Iraq for Bush's amusement. And I believe this is true if you consider that they are being sent for profit of those close to the Bush Administration: oil companies, defense contracts, etc. record profits... and who benefits? That to me is for Bush's amusement.

I want to be clear: I have no problem with Rep. Stark's statement. I understand that people are furious with what is happening to this country, and to Iraq. And he voiced that frustration. I called his office, to say that I believe that this country needs more people like him speaking out, not more of us holding our tongue.

I say things that upset people from time to time myself. I've made an effort to study various ways to do this.

but as you rightfully point out, he doesn't care either. This is so glaringly obvious (see: not showing coffins) and asks, no begs, for a voice from the other side of the debate. Pete Strak did that and I support him, because the underlying reasoning is correct even if his statement wasn't literally correct.

that at times when Bush is aware that he is supposed to appear upset by the war, he is very ill at ease. He says he is upset, but it doesn't fit his appearance. There is a saying in psychiatry about sociopaths: they know the words, but not the tune. It could have been made to describe George.

He did a chapter on ahasiacs and agnosiacs watching a speech by Reagan with some utterly astonishing observations by them.

I would love to see a similar study done with W who is nowhere near as consfident a speaker as Reagan was.

It sounds interesting.

there's no point to any of it. This is what I believe Stark was getting at.

There has been NO good reason given for why we are in Iraq. "Amusement" was a term thrown out in a moment of righteous indignation towards this FACT.

the president frequently acts giddy when talking about the war of occupation in Iraq being to fight terrorism, is because he believes that he has pulled the wool over everyone's eyes. He thinks he is a tricky fellow. These are the characteristics that add up to a troubling conclusion -- we have a president who is without conscience.

that he thinks himself religious, when he is actually the very definition of anti-Christ.

by parents who were disinterested in his actual upbringing and kept him off at schools and with nannies or caretakers to raise him. Even when he totally screwed up, he got told "you did a FINE job, georgie" or his daddy's money and/or influence bailed him out. He has no sense of self respect, he doesn't know what respecting others means and he has no sense of personal responsibility.

Granted, I'm no therapist or mental health professional, I just calls 'em as I sees 'em... he's a pretty easy read.

played a significant role in his adult personality.

No, he feels no responsibility and yes, he will always make himself out to be the victim if confronted with the unnecessary sacrifices he demands.

I'll never forget the interview with the woman who recounted how she was in the Oval Office with Bush and said her son was a giving and happy person and shouldn't have had to die so young. Bush countered with "How do you know his life would have been happy?" Asshole. :grr:

He thinks that the mother was being disrespectful to the loss that he -- Bush -- suffered with the death of her son.

...the "head" of bin Laden (severed - should he be captured, of course).:puke:

I don't think there's "delight" felt by the Chimp when casualties are reported, BUT I DOUBT he understands the impact of every death on literally hundreds of people. To him, it's merely a number.

that he has some article that used to belong to Saddam. The keeping of such trophies is diagnostic.

When Saddam Hussein was rousted from his spider hole in Dawr, a town near Tikrit, by U.S. soldiers last December, Iraq's fallen dictator was clutching a pistol. He is now in detention at an undisclosed location, being questioned by American authorities and awaiting charges for war atrocities and crimes against humanity. But what ever happened to the pistol?

The sidearm has made its way to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Sources say that the military had the pistol mounted after the soldiers seized it from Saddam and that it was then presented to the President privately by some of the troops who played a key role in ferreting out the old tyrant. Though it was widely reported at the time that the pistol was loaded when they grabbed Saddam, Bush has told visitors that the gun was empty—and that it is still empty and safe to touch. "He really liked showing it off," says a recent visitor to the White House who has seen the gun. "He was really proud of it."

The pistol's new place of residence is in the small study next to the Oval Office where Bush takes select visitors after pointing out better-known White House pieces like the busts of Winston Churchill and Dwight D. Eisenhower and a watercolor called A Charge to Keep, which gets its name from a Methodist hymn. The study—the one where Bill Clinton held some of his infamous trysts with White House intern Monica Lewinsky—has become a place where Bush keeps the memorabilia that hold special significance for him. Another of the room's mementos: a photograph of special-forces soldiers in Afghanistan praying after burying a piece of the World Trade Center there as a tribute to those who died in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

At least he doesn't have Saddam's head, eh?:crazy:

He has shown direspect for military deaths when he aired his little "no WMDs here" skit to a room full of tuxedoed republicans.

It is written he found amusement in blowing up frogs.

This is not a man worthy of leadership. This is a man in desperate need of serious help.

my 2 cents.

The part about the victims of Katrina would be difficult to argue. I think his mother made a repulsive comment about how some of them had benefitting from the the events. I think she passed on many of her personality traits to her son.

However, I don't think he actually cares about their deaths one way or the other. They're tools to him to be used to fulfill his desires.

I don't think he views them as anything more.

only able to see things as either being "all about him" or "bad," I think he views the soldiers deaths as evidence of his nobility.

It was put exceedingly well. I particularly agree with your last paragraph. The only think I'd add is that I believe he feels all the death and destruction he's caused is "worth it".

recommended.

right in the head.

I don't think * gives two shits about the people he's killing. And yes, I do think he gets some amusement from it.

Extrapolation says he's still amused by death that he initiates.

I have a friend who is involved in opposition to the death penalty. He met with Bush years ago. He told me that the initial "W." stands for "Death." He said that Bush lacks a human component that we call compassion.

I had the misfortune to see the vid clip and was quite taken aback of what a subhuman response that man had. There is something seriously wrong with him mentally, so I cannot dismiss that he could very well be amused by death and destruction.

In the same way that Rove goes after an opponent's strengths, he also saves his biggest lies for *'s biggest weaknesses. I'm surprised they didn't make him out to be the second coming of Einstein, but I guess that was beyond even KKKarl's abilities.

a psychopath.

The loss of lives and suffering of our soldiers never even enters his mind.

Wasn't he brave? As brave as a little ill one who likes to pull the wings off flies.

When he looked under the desk for the WMDs and everyone giggled, THAT WAS IT.

Wasn't that a riot? :rofl:

:sarcasm:

Instead, the enablers giggled at *dauphin pissing in ALL our faces. WMD? Can't seem ta find 'em... YOUR KID IS DEAD? Well here, take this coin and don't sell it on e-bay and don't you DARE be asking me to 'splain MY NOBLE CAUSE. It's a nazi thang. You wouldn't understand.

a true lack in/of ability to have a conscience.

When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.

Frogs, brothers, helpless people in Iraq, all the same pathology

right before our eyes....

It's Bushler. ;)

It's always hard to speculate on how these people are truly reacting.

One thing for sure, Bush has displaced any sense of responsibility for the deaths

of over one million (1,000,000) US soldiers and Iraqi civilians.

That's a lot of death to carry and he's placed it right on top of the U.S.A. by his
invasion and handling of this entire fiasco.

He must be impeached.

I think he likes the posturing and scripts and imagery of being the stoic Commander in Chief, appearing even more significant in his pretend-uniforms posing with troops and reading words about sacrifice and heroism, etc. That's the part I think he actually enjoys -- being elevated for things he never did (the story of his life, no?).

I agree that he doesn't feel a shred of responsibility. I think his handlers make sure he doesn't, too.

When Reagan gave many of his speeches, he recognized the fact that he was an actor delivering lines. Bush thinks that by delivering lines, he becomes the war hero of his fantasies.
