...and laughing and grinning like The Cheshire Cat on my TV right now talking about Lebanon.

He doesn't sound and look so happy when someone asks him about whats happening in Iraq.

2. Reverse Tom Joad. Wherever children are dying Bush is smiling.
Tom Joad is the character from Grapes of Wrath who told his mother:

"Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me Mom I'll be there
Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand
Or decent job or a helpin' hand
Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free
Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me."

4. Twice he has said that "Hezbolla kidnapped soldiers" and that was
the cause of this war. Not one word of acknowledgement that the doctor and his son were abducted and no one knows what has happened to them.

5. "Please," Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation,
"don't kill me." I must look shocked — ridiculing the pleas of a condemned prisoner who has since been executed seems odd and cruel — because he immediately stops smirking.

Tucker Carlson, Talk Magazine (September 1999, p. 106).

7. He loves death, and he loves the power of killing people.
He enjoyed killing Karla Faye Tucker. I am no friend of Pat Robertson, but even I felt a sense of social loss when this woman was executed. It felt very wrong as she could have done alot of good in prison. He killed her for his political career.

So much for mercy.

6. Of course he's grinning!
After all, if he can help keep this conflict going for just awhile longer, sooner or later Syria, Iran or both are going to jump into the fray, and then he'll have the perfect excuse to fulfill all of PNAC's dreams of ME hegemony.

This is why Rice and crew worked out a ceasefire agreement that is so obviously one-sided and insulting. They know that Lebanon and Hezbollah won't go for it, but they can say "Hey, we tried" and then wash their hands of the matter as the ME continues to burn.

8. He used to grin every time he said "Saddam" or "Osama"
it was creepy.

He doesn't mention Osama too often now, though

9. He kills 1000s innocent Iraqis for democracy but accuses terrorists of
killing innocent people to stop democracy. I find the hypocrisy amazing!
