Is George W. Bush proud of what he has done to our country?
I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace.
- George W. Bush



These are just 6 of the 2,473 families that have lost loved ones in Iraq.

1. he couldn't be prouder
he's set democracy back 500 years

he's trashed the Murkan economy (except for his super-wealthy base) for generations to come

he's secured the future of his oil bidniz cronies until the oil runs out

Mission Accomplished!

3. George W. Bush will go to hell for what he has done during his time on
Earth. He will be in good company with the likes of Hitler and every other person who came to Earth and did not respect what God created. That will be his ultimate punishment, and it will be far more severe than anything anyone on Earth could do.

Let's just hope we can take steps to minimize the damage going forward. There's already a HUGE mess to clean up.

George W. Bush: IMPEACH - PROSECUTE - INCARCERATE.

4. He was proud of deserting his military unit to avoid a drug test
He was proud of ripping off share holders at harken. He was proud of lying about WMD. He's very proud of his "christian" conservative values.

6. Proud? Hell, I think he gets off on it.
I'm glad I didn't have to watch him watching Flight 93.

8. I honestly think he believes these are small sacrifices
for a greater good as he see's it. Of course it is easy for him to have ordered this--it's not his butt going over to Iraq--just like he and Cheney were able to avoid Vietnam service. These chicken hawks are pathetic.

The body of a victim of Hurricane Katrina floats in floodwaters in New Orleans September 1, 2005 while....


...President Bush concerned himself with more pressing matters.

11. He's proud as hell. He doesn't bother his pretty mind with looking at
those pics you posted. He doesn't CARE what he has done to this country. He's too IGNORANT to care. He has NO COMPASSION for others....NONE. I say Barbara and Jenna should have been the FIRST soldiers to serve in their dad's illegal invasion.

12. Please, stop being deluded that Junior *thinks* or *feels* anything.
Edited on Fri Jun-02-06 11:31 AM by TahitiNut
To the degree there's any vestigial mental process that could be regarded as healthy, it's totally overwhelmed by his pathology. Again, he's the poster boy for Narcissistic Personality Disorder - an Axis-II disorder that's effectively untreatable and is marked by an absence of empathy and conscience. Psychologically, his very existence hinges upon the reactions and attentions of others - to ever-increasing degrees. Never truly satiated, he's 'addicted' to seeing his 'reflection' in the reactions of others - as the basis of his very existence. He's incapable of self-esteem and cannot sense his own existence in isolation. He has no independent sense of self. In order to obtain ever-increasing feedback and reaction, he can resort to abuse, violence, and other sociopathic impulses. He's surrounded by sycophants for this very reason - his 'narcissistic supply.'

He belongs in a padded cell for the rest of his miserable life.

19. exactly
we "little" people don't factor into any decision this adminstration makes. If we were suppose to be someone then God would have made us rich.

13. Of course he is proud, after all,
these are just sheeple and they are here to serve The Ruling Class. If some must be killed to further their goals, what of it? It is their highest purpose.

15. I'm crying looking at those pictures....
So much pain and sadness...for the families of our soldiers, for the families of the Iraqis....and for what have they given their lives? For what? Freedom? For whom? Democracy? For whom? For Peace? Where? For Safety? For whom?

I was touched by all those photos Ava...I also noticed that the father in the first photo looks like a Vietnam Veteran. I can only imagine what he is feeling and thinking about George W.'s War....

17. needless death and destruction
bush has a demented view of democracy and freedom. He doesn't know the first thing about democracy or freedom. He is dry drunk who needs help and to be locked up.

20. I doubt he thinks of it at all.
He probably thinks anyone but his rich friends & campaign contributors are "the unwashed masses" & "useless eaters."
