Dangers of a Cornered George Bush

[Imagevision]

As the nation and the world face 18 more months of George W. Bush’s presidency, a chilling prospect is that Bush – confronted with more defeats and reversals – might just “lose it” and undertake even more reckless military adventures.

In this special memorandum, the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) collaborated with psychiatrist Justin Frank, author of Bush on the Couch, to assess the potential dangers and possible countermeasures available to constrain Bush:

Recent events have put a great deal more pressure on President George W. Bush, who has shown little regard for the constitutional system bequeathed to us by the Founders. Having bragged about being commander in chief of the “first war of the 21st century,” one he began under false pretenses, success in Iraq is now a pipe-dream.

The “new” strategy of surging troops in Baghdad has simply wasted more lives and bought some time for the president. His strategy boils down to keeping as many of our soldiers engaged as possible, in order to stave off definitive defeat in Iraq before January 2009.

Bush is commander in chief, but Congress must approve funding for the war, and its patience is running out. The war – and the polls – are going so badly that it is no longer a sure thing that the administration will be able to fund continuance of the war.

There is an outside chance Congress will succeed in forcing a pullout starting in the next several months. What would the president likely do in reaction to that slap in the face?

What would he do if the Resistance succeeded in mounting a large attack on U.S. facilities in the Green Zone or elsewhere in Iraq? How would he react if Israel mounted a preemptive attack on the nuclear-related facilities in Iran and wider war ensued?

Bush is toting himself as the war prez, I believe he should be monitored and contrary to others, I agree with Russ Feingold about Bush being censured.

"Having bragged about being commander in chief of the “first war of the 21st century,”" -------- Bush makes it sound as though he'd thrown the opening pitch in a goddamn baseball game.

2. Let him keep digging

He is going to do what he does no matter what, he is too stupid to join reality. Every moronic thing he does drives his polls lower and lower and lower. I am reasonably sure he will try something ultimately stupid and not want to leave office when his term is up. By then his ratings will be in the high teens. Let the cards fall where they may, it might just destroy the republican party for good and expose what it really stands for; greed, war and greed....oh yes, and incompetence on a grande scale.

Billion-dollar defense contracts etc.?
