It’s time to simply admit the obvious: The president of the United States is crazy as a loon, and the Congress and the media are functioning as co-dependents as he runs the country off a cliff.
Bush says in his latest press conference that he is “certain” that Iran is providing “technically sophisticated” roadside bomb weapons to Iraqi insurgent forces to help them to kill Americans.
He probably is “certain.” But nobody else of consequence in the government is, and the evidence to support his claim is simply not there.
Shaped charges are not sophisticated. They can be made in a garage. The technology was invented in 1888 by a Navy engineer. It was widely used in World War I and II, as well as in Vietnam, and was even provided by the British to the IRA in a botched sting operation that led to its being disseminated around the world to every conceivable resistance and terror organization. Instructions on how to make these weapons are available on the web. A high school student could do it in shop if the teacher wasn’t looking.
On top of that, the people who are primarily responsible for killing Americans in Iraq are Sunnis, who are certainly not the beneficiaries of Iranian government assistance, since Sunnis are killing Shias, who are the ones that Iran is close to.
None of this matters to Bush.
Why? Because he’s crazy. Reality and Bush's psyche are wholly different worlds, people.
When you have a person who’s off his nut in a position of authority,
whether it is in your house, in your office, driving a car or running
your country, you need to do something to prevent them from causing
harm. It won’t do to say, “It’s too much trouble to confront him,” or
“He’ll get angry if I challenge him.”
This seems to be the attitude in Congress and the media. The Democrats,
who could put the president in a richly deserved straightjacket, are
afraid to take that step. The media are afraid the president and his
crazy backers would howl if they pointed out how nutty he has become.
So they all let him rant on, as though he were making sense.
The problem is that this president is also the commander in chief. He
has ordered three heavily armed (and nuclear-equipped) carrier battle
groups to the Persian Gulf and is talking about “dealing” with Iran. We
all know what that means. He wants to attack Iran and expand his
disastrous war in the Middle East to put us at war with another 70
million people.
Experts are saying we can expect this to happen in mid March or April!
They say this even though there are no facts that could justify such a
criminal act.
But facts don’t matter to this megalomaniac.
Co-dependency is a condition where people associated with a sick person
enable that person to ruin not only their own lives, but the lives of
others, because of an inability to confront the sick person. It happens
in families, and it is happening today to the American nation.
Co-dependency destroys families, and it has the potential now to
destroy the lives of thousands of Americans, tens or hundreds of
thousands of innocent Iranians, and perhaps America itself.
There is only one proper response to having a lunatic in the White
House, and that is to get him out of there, and to prevent him from
doing harm to himself and others. What ought to happen is Bush’s
medical team should have him declared incompetent. Since that is
unlikely to happen, we’re left with two other alternatives. One would
be for the military leadership of the nation to recognize Bush’s
orders—should he order an attack on Iran—to be contrary to
International Law, and to disobey him. That seems unlikely, though it
is to be profoundly hoped for.
The other is for Congress to recognize its co-dependent behavior, and
to take action, filing impeachment bills and getting the process of
impeachment hearings underway.
Since the president has clearly broken the law in the case of the
National Security Agency spying he ordered up, and since he has clearly
abused his power and violated his oath of office with his signing
statements, there is really no need for prolonged hearings. An
impeachment panel could quickly vote out articles of impeachment on
these two issues and send them to the full house for a vote. Were they
to do this, I suspect they would find at least some honorable and
patriotic Republicans voting with them. At that point the issue could
go to the Senate for trial. Meanwhile, the impeachment panel could
continue with hearings into Bush’s other crimes and misadventures—the
lying about the Iraq War, the torture authorization, the violation of
habeas corpus, the cover-up of the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame,
the lies to and obstruction of the 9-11 Commission, the abandonment of
New Orleans to its fate during and after Hurricane Katrina, the war
profiteering in Iraq, etc., etc.
The first step, however, is to acknowledge that the president has lost his mind and has become a dangerous psychopath.

has become Dave?????
this is the same psychopath who put firecrackers up frogs arses as a child. the same presided over the greatest number of state sanctioned murders as governor of texas. the same psychopath who publicly mocked the desperate pleas of a female prisoner about to be put to death. the same president who presided over the most outrageous false-flag black-op of them all on 9/11, slaughtering 3000 of his own citizens. the same president who for the last four years has presided over the ongoing slaughters in afghanistan and iraq.
has become a dangerous psychopath???? it was obvious long before he stole the election in 2000 that he was already well and truly certifiable.
why the kid gloves now?
