BUSH ON THE Couch


I’m into a delightful read: Bush on the Couch by Harvard-educated applied psychoanalyst Justin Frank. Know how you always hear this debate?

“Bush is dumb.”

“No, he's evil. Playing dumb is just part of his evil plot.”

"I don't think so, I think he's just dumb."

"No, he knows exactly what he's doing...."

Etc.

Well, Master Frank delights us with a further possibility: Bush is mentally ill.

That would explain a few things, wouldn’t it? Like, why Bushy would drop an atomic bomb on someone’s head -- just to stay in power. Go HERE for reviews on the book; the first one is titled "We are in BIG trouble."

Here are snippets from the latest on Bush’s mental illness:

By Jorge Hirsch, at antiwar.com:

“The 150,000 U.S. soldiers in Iraq will be at great risk if there is a war with Iran…. Americans will support a nuclear strike on Iran once the administration ... can argue that such action will save ... American lives.

SNIP

“…Bush will use the fact that North Korea has joined the nuclear club, and [will say] he was not "tough enough" on North Korea, as justification for attacking Iran....
SNIP

“No nuclear country is likely to intervene ... so there is no military deterrent.

"The U.S. ... is about to demonstrate ... that its $5 trillion nuclear arsenal is not ‘unusable.’

SNIP

“If the U.S. attacks Iran and does not use nuclear weapons, it will incur military losses that will vastly outweigh any benefits of such a war.

"If there is no Iran war, the Bush presidency will be remembered ... for the disastrous Iraq war…. To the (however unlikely) extent that [a war with Iran] results in an advantage to America, Bush's achievement could ... be hailed by future generations.

“Like desperate gamblers in a losing streak, Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld have nothing to gain and everything to lose by not attacking Iran with nuclear weapons.

SNIP

"Whether the military would refuse to carry out immoral orders is uncertain…."
