Is President Bush Sane?
by Paul Craig Roberts

Tens of millions of Americans want President George W. Bush to be
impeached for the lies and deceit he used to launch an illegal war and
for violating his oath of office to uphold the US Constitution.
Millions of other Americans want Bush turned over to the war crimes
tribunal at the Hague. The true fate that awaits Bush is psychiatric
incarceration.
The president of the United States is so deep into denial that he is no
longer among the sane.
Delusion still rules Bush three weeks after the American people
repudiated him and his catastrophic war in elections that delivered
both House and Senate to the Democrats in the hope that control over
Congress would give the opposition party the strength to oppose the mad
occupant of the White House.
On November 28 Bush insisted that US troops would not be withdrawn from
Iraq until he had completed his mission of building a stable Iraqi
democracy capable of spreading democratic change in the Middle East.
Bush made this astonishing statement the day after NBC News, a major
television network, declared Iraq to be in the midst of a civil war, a
judgment with which former Secretary of State Colin Powell concurs.
The same day that Bush reaffirmed his commitment to building a stable
Iraqi democracy, a secret US Marine Corps intelligence report was
leaked. According to the Washington Post, the report concludes: "the
social and political situation has deteriorated to a point that US and
Iraqi troops are no longer capable of militarily defeating the
insurgency in al-Anbar province."
The Marine Corps intelligence report says that al-Qaeda is the
"dominant organization of influence" in Anbar province, and is more
important than local authorities, the Iraqi government and US troops
"in its ability to control the day-to-day life of the average Sunni."
Bush's astonishing determination to deny Iraq reality was made the
same day that the US-installed Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki and US
puppet King Abdullah II of Jordan abruptly cancelled a meeting with
Bush after Bush was already in route to Jordan on Air Force One. Bush
could not meet with Maliki in Iraq, because violence in Baghdad is out
of control. For security reasons, the US Secret Service would not allow
President Bush to go to Iraq, where he is "building a stable
democracy."
Bush made his astonishing statement in the face of news leaks of the
Iraq Study Group's call for a withdrawal of all US combat forces from
Iraq. The Iraq Study Group is led by Bush family operative James A.
Baker, a former White House chief of staff, former Secretary of the
Treasury, and former Secretary of State. Baker was tasked by father
Bush to save the son. Apparently, son Bush hasn't enough sanity to
allow himself to be saved.
Bush's denial of Iraqi reality was made even as one of the most
influential Iraqi Shi'ite leaders, Moqtada al-Sadr, is building an
anti-US parliamentary alliance to demand the withdrawal of US troops
from Iraq.
Maliki himself appears on the verge of desertion by his American
sponsors. The White House has reportedly "lost confidence" in
Maliki's "ability to control violence." Fox "News" disinformation
agency immediately began blaming Maliki for the defeat the US has
suffered in Iraq. NY Governor Pataki told Fox "News" that "Maliki is
not doing his job." Pataki claimed that US troops were doing "a great
job."
A number of other politicians and talking heads joined in the
scapegoating of Maliki. No one explained how Maliki can be expected to
save Iraq when US troops cannot provide enough security for the Iraqi
government to go outside the heavily fortified "green zone" that
occupies a small area of Baghdad. If the US Marines cannot control
Anbar province, what chance is there for Maliki? What can Maliki do if
the security provided by US troops is so bad that the president of the
US cannot even visit the country?
The only people in Iraq who are safe belong to al-Qaeda and the Sunni
insurgents or are Shi'ite militia leaders such as al-Sadr.
An American group, the Center for Constitutional Rights, has filed war
crimes charges in Germany against former US Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld. A number of former US attorneys believe President Bush and
Vice President Cheney deserve the same.
Bush has destroyed the entire social, political, and economic fabric of
Iraq. Saddam Hussein sat on the lid of Pandora's Box of sectarian
antagonisms, but Bush has opened the lid. Hundreds of thousands of
Iraqi civilians have been killed as "collateral damage" in Bush's war
to bring "stable democracy" to Iraq. Tens of thousands of Iraqi
children have been orphaned and maimed. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis
have fled their country. The Middle East is aflame with hatred of
America, and the ground is shaking under the feet of American puppet
governments in the Middle East. US casualties (killed and wounded)
number 25,000.
And Bush has not had enough!
What better proof of Bush's insanity could there be?

So the "democratic" is added as a kind of public denial that Israel is an ethnic or religious state. The Jewish and democratic idea is crucially important to Israel and Israelis; it is, for example, the central tenet of the 1992 Basic Law on Freedom and Human Dignity, the nearest thing Israel has to a Bill of Rights. This document defines Israel as a Jewish and democratic state and, in contradiction, also excludes equality as one of its principles That's because most Israelis believe that equality applies only to Jews inside Israel, not to the one in five Israeli citizens who are not Jewish but Palestinian." --
