BUSH IS COMPLETELY NUTS!!!! And that nut is also in charge of the most deadly weapons that can destroy our planet a thousand times over. "In his interview with Woodward, conducted over two days in December of last year, Bush displayed no second thoughts about Iraq's postwar miseries or the failure to turn up any WMD. "I haven't suffered doubt," he told Woodward. When the author—quoting Bush's political adviser Karl Rove—suggested that "all history gets measured by outcomes," Bush "smiled," reports Woodward. " 'History,' he said, shrugging, taking his hands out of his pockets, extending his arms out and suggesting with his body language that it was so far off. 'We won't know. We'll all be dead'." msnbc.msn.com

Bush: "I was praying for strength to do the Lord's will" "...in my case I pray that I be as good a messenger of His will as possible." Well, to me, it's pretty apparent he failed.... and failed miserably, given the disasters he has spawned. To me, having faith doesn't absolve you from using your brain...ESPECIALLY in the job he's got. But it's clear Bush doesn't feel or act that way. To him faith is a substitute for having to think through what he's about to do...no need to do any of the hard thinking. The CBS 60 minutes interview with Bob Woodward shined a very bright light on just how bad the decision making process is in the Oval Office. Bush didn't even consult his cabinet, or seek a variety of opinions. I guess that's what they teach you at Harvard Business School, back when Bush got his MBA. Bush, and his administration are incredibly dysfunctional. To all the corporate chieftains who load his campaign coffers with all that money - it's ironic that they'd love him to run this country for 4 more years, but I'll bet very few of them would want him to run a key division or subsidiary for them, where he would have to make all the operational decisions.
