The worst President ever should have followed in the footsteps of the 5th worst President ever. (after Bush Jr., Nixon, Reagan, Hoover, and Grant)
Bush’s Embrace of Israel Shows Gap With Father
NY Times
Excerpt:
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 — When they first met as United States president and Israeli prime minister, George W. Bush made clear to Ariel Sharon he would not follow in the footsteps of his father.
The first President Bush had been tough on Israel, especially the Israeli settlements in occupied lands that Mr. Sharon had helped develop. But over tea in the Oval Office that day in March 2001 — six months before the Sept. 11 attacks tightened their bond — the new president signaled a strong predisposition to support Israel.
“He told Sharon in that first meeting that I’ll use force to protect Israel, which was kind of a shock to everybody,â€
H.L.s Take:The President has nothing to do with what is going on in Israel???? I don’t think so.

When Papa Bush was in the WH, he was advised by “realists” that considered different points of view of the Middle East. They weren’t completely coopted by the zionist lobby in DC.
Today, Baby Bush is advised by rabid zionist neocons and kisses the zionist lobby’s ass. That’s the difference and why the Middle East is so messed up now.
We can only expect more perpetual war. There will always be a reason to attack another country. They don’t give a damn about the destruction of civilization.

Yes Bush’s policy in Israel and in North Korea and in Iran and the Sudan. Anywhere it is f’d up in the world it is his fault. It is not actually the people involved with the conflicts or living in the region. All bad USA all the time!!
I wonder who you would be blaming if Bush didn’t rig the election??
I would expect so much more from the free thinkers on this site most of the time.

I don’t actually blame the criminal……..it is the mans fault for keeping the criminal down and opressed.

Bush is a criminal of the worst kind. He lies and denies. That’s the worst psychological profile of criminality.
Even if Bush weren’t in the WH, the lies would be wrapped around smiles. Clinton was very good at that. He’s a liar and denier as well.
