"The United Nations secretary general, Kofi Annan, declared explicitly for the first time last night that the US-led war on Iraq was illegal."
There's not only that, but Bush also lost the war. He couldn't even secure the oil fields.
The coalition is breaking apart: "New Zealand's troops are pulling out of Iraq under a cloak of secrecy as security deteriorates in the battle to control the war-torn country."
Bush's life is a history of failures and cheating. Even if the Bush memos are fakes (and to me they look authentic), they tell the truth: "Marian Carr Knox, a former Texas Air National Guard secretary, said she did type similar documents for her boss, Lt. Col. Jerry Killian."
The facts are that Bush was indeed grounded and was helped by several people with dodging draft and service. The information in the memos is correct, said Knox. What more do you want?
Nevertheless, Bush told veterans Tuesday he was proud of his time in the Texas Air National Guard. So, Bush was proud of having dodged draft and going AWOL.
Bush gets away with murder, while someone who protests is arrested and charged with 'defiant trespass', whatever that is.
Bush - protecting Americans? Forget it! Bush let 9/11 happen.
Bush appeals to the criminal and the moron. Kelley [in her book The Family, The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty] does what no other writer to date has really done for the Bushes: she actually makes you admire them for their remarkable ability to remain consistently cold, calculating, predatory and unscrupulous in generation after generation after generation.
What few people realize about George W. Bush is that it takes balls to be him - it takes balls to go to room full of intellectuals in Cambridge, sit in class without a clue, blast the poor, and call John Steinbeck a commie. The same kind of balls it took to invade Iraq and get the nation into an open-ended war when the whole world told him over and again that it was a terrible idea. His unwavering belief in the righteousness of his idiotic life of privilege is so impressive that you almost come away believing he might be right. The rest of us have doubts; Georgie is always sure, even when he is toting pillows."
Replace the word 'balls' with 'a hooligan' and we're there. Bush does not have any 'balls', he is insecure, paranoiac, knows he is stupid, impotent, and therefore he takes the offensive. What is the difference between Bush and a football hooligan? None, he was one in his youth and still is. He's a bully.

"In the wake of Argentina's spectacular economic collapse in 2001, Latin America's most prosperous middle class finds itself in a ghost town of abandoned factories and mass unemployment. In suburban Buenos Aires, thirty unemployed auto-parts workers walk into their idle factory, roll out sleeping mats and refuse to leave. All they want is to re-start the silent machines. But this simple act - the take - has the power to turn the globalization debate on its head."
The Take is a film by Avi Lewis and Naomi Klein.
