2. Excellent Article! Gets into all the Chimps Personality problems plus

some other good stuff: Quote:

"To start with, the American people should demand a full and truthful account of the important events that preceded the Sept. 11 attacks. There's also a desperate need for an honest recounting of many historical events from the last quarter century -- especially about U.S. policies in the Middle East -- that have been hidden from the public.

Another worthwhile step toward accountability would be to wrest admissions from those who have played a part in this ongoing tragedy – and most especially Condoleezza Rice and George W. Bush – that there were plenty of missed opportunities and plenty of reasons to say, “Sorry.”

3. Another snippet:

Even Bush apparently has bought into this view, calling himself a “gut player” who relies on his “instincts.” According to author Bob Woodward, in Bush at War, “it’s pretty clear that Bush’s role as politician, president and commander in chief is driven by a secular faith in his instincts – his natural and spontaneous conclusions and judgments. His instincts are almost his second religion.”

This Bush infallibility myth was widely disseminated by both conservative and mainstream media outlets in the months after Sept. 11, with prominent journalists, such as NBC’s Tim Russert, even posing questions about whether God had chosen Bush to lead the United States during the crisis.

A year ago, Bush’s overwhelming faith in his “gut” judgments contributed to his determination to invade Iraq, brushing aside opposition from the United Nations, key allies and tens of millions of protesters around the world. That decision has since left more than 600 U.S. soldiers and uncounted thousands of Iraqi civilians dead with no end of the bloodshed in sight.

According to senior U.S. counter-terrorism officials, such as the State Department’s Cofer Black, the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq also has sped up the spread of Osama bin Laden’s anti-American ideology.
