Bush and His Search for Belonging

It's now well documented that "W" planned to invade Iraq well before the 9-11 tragedy. It's also well established that he and his staff lied us into a war that has only benefited the military/industrial complex. Iraq is in shambles and teeters on the brink of all out civil war. Tens of thousands of Iraqi and US lives have been lost. Some polls show that 70% to 80% of the Iraqi population would prefer that we leave. The majority of US citizens want us to pull out, but now aren't sure of how it should be done to minimize more ethnic and political unrest. One thing the majority of the American public does agree on is that we should have never gone there in the beginning.
Will impeachment hearings happen? Time will tell.

George W. Bush took us on a crusade, perpetuated by his personal religious beliefs and a cadre of yes men who took advantage of the situation for financial and/or political gain. His inner circle used fear mongering at every turn when the polls showed a downturn in his popularity. Hardliners in the GOP accused those who opposed his war plans of being anti-patriotic and that their actions would bring down the United States. (Joseph McCarthy is alive and well.)

To see our current president winging it in front of a microphone and camera, one might conclude that his verbal skills are lacking. Or, one might also conclude that he is unsure enough of his own beliefs that it's hard for him to communicate exactly where he stands on many issues. However, that's a statement of a speculative nature and should probably be left to individual perception.
