 'Is George Bush A liar?'

The American public has now had 4 years of what is loosely called "Bush Leadership." According to most polls, about half of the nation thinks G.W.Bush is some kind of heroic or even saintly figure, and the other half thinks he is a shallow smirking strutting popinjay who is determined to destroy the democracy he found intact when he was given the Presidency by the Supreme Court.

Many people have charged that he has a firm propensity to misinform, deceive or even maliciously lie in order to gain some corporate goal advantage. Other people believe he talks to his God and therefore would not ever lie.

Perhaps asking some rhetorical questions might clarify the issue of whether Bush deliberately lies, makes simple but good-hearted mistakes, and is an innocent person who is deceived by bad people, or follows advice from his God.

Did Bush make war on Iraq in order to avenge an attempt on the life of his father?

Did Bush make war on Iraq because he showed that Iraq was involved in the 9/11 destruction of the Twin Towers and Pentagon?

Did Bush make war on Iraq because he showed that Saddam Hussein of Iraq was the mastermind behind the 9/11 disaster, or, at the very least, was an accomplice or patron of Osama bin Laden?

Did Bush make war on Iraq because he couldn't catch Osama bin Laden, then decided to save face by regime changing in Iraq?

Did Bush decide to make war on Iraq long before the 9/1l disaster, as he was involved with the neoconservative plots to dominate the world?

Did Bush decide to make war on Iraq because his associates (V.P. Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Rove, et al) talked him into it?

Did Bush decide to make war on Iraq because he knew that after the Gulf War the Iraqi army was sadly deficient, and that he could easily seize Iraqi oil wells to enrich his corporate partners?

Did Bush use emotional religious rhetoric, and the promise of supporting Christian domination, to persuade his True Believer supporters to give him carte blanche power, without any restraint?

Did any of the daily political rhetoric of Bush concerning Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction, nuclear works, aluminum tubes, yellow cake, pilotless planes to attack the U.S., etc., prove to be true?

Did Bush declare war on Iraq to free the Iraqis from an oppressive regime or to seize their country as a future base for expansion of U.S. interests?

Did Bush use cruise missiles, helicopters, Bunker Buster Bombs, Shock and Awe tactics, 120,000 troops in humvees with deadly weapons as a legitimate means of spreading Democracy?

Did soldiers under Bush's orders kill many thousands of Iraqis; destroy their homes and infrastructure because this is a democratic way to spread Liberty?

Did 1,700 American soldiers die for their country, or to satisfy a politician's desire to rule the world?

Did Bush understand what Sovereignty means when he appointed all Iraqi leadership, stage managed the "elections", called Iraqi resistance fighters "thugs" and "terrorists", began building a huge permanent airbase and embassy in Iraq, and will keep thousands of American soldiers in Iraq for many years in order to further his plans to invade Syria, Iran, and other countries.

Did Bush understand that the world believes he is corrupt because he handed Iraqi resources to Millennium Corporation without a contract, without hesitation, and that by coincidence V.P. Cheney just happened to be the chief operating officer of Millennium?

Did Bush understand that the world believes he is corrupt because billions of dollars have disappeared without a trace into his military and industrial friend's pockets?

Did Bush understand that George Galloway spoke the truth about Bush corruption and incompetence?

Did Bush ever find out who outed his C.I.A. agent?

Did Bush know he was following neocon design and THE "PROJECT FOR THE NEW AMERICAN CENTURY" draft-dodging War Hawks in his cabinet?

Did Bush know he was turning Iraq over to greedy corporate neoconservatives?

Did Bush know or care that he was foisting his beliefs on the entire nation, that this is damnably intrusive and potentially a cause for civil and religious warfare?

Did Bush in any way enter into any question of abuse, torture, and detention of anyone he has detained beyond ordinary legal requirements?

Does Bush use fake journalists to praise him, highly select his audiences, have his bureaus write praises of his leadership, use Swift Boat people to demonize his opponent, and use phony phrases like MISSION ACCOMPLISHED so he can strut about as if he were a real soldier?

Did Bush know that turning his Oval Office into a Christian Chapel for Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson would turn into religious warfare with the possibility of civil war?

Please answer these rhetorical questions and decide if Bush lies and deceives often, or is open, honest and candid in all his dealings in the name and fame of the United States. Is this a government of the people, by the people and for the people, or a government of corporate executives, by corporate executives, for corporate executives and True Believers?
