George W. Bush: In his own words...what could be better than that?

"Tyrants and dictators will accept no other gods before them. They require disobedience to the First Commandment. They seek absolute control and are threatened by faith in God. They fear only the power they cannot possess -- the power of truth. So they resent the living example of the devout, especially the devotion of a unique people chosen by God."

"God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them."

5/23/02) My question is, WHY?

When he announced the U.S. air strikes against Afghanistan, President Bush
Jr. said, "We're a peaceful nation." He went on to say, "This is the calling of
the United States of America, the most free nation in the world, a nation
built on fundamental values, that rejects hate, rejects violence, rejects
murderers, rejects evil. "

Reposted by "http://www.truthout.org/docs_02/12.30A.afgh.pipe.htm", a report
from PakNews.com states that Unocal gets it‘s pipeline! "Pakistan, Afghanistan
and Turkmenistan on Friday signed here a framework agreement for a US $3.2
billion gas pipeline project passing through the three countries."This was what
it was all about. As has been widely reported, the Bush administration was
negotiating with the Taliban early in 2001 to work out the deal for the pipeline
for Unocal. The administration told the Taliban it could choose between "a
carpet of gold or a carpet of bombs." We all know what it was in the end.

Korea. CNN Jan. 22, 2003. It has offered to end the face-off in return for a non-aggression treaty with the United States, but Bush does not want to do this because North Korea is one of the main excuses for deploying the Star Wars Missile Defense Shield, a trillion dollar failure that won’t protect America from terrorism or missiles from Russia or China.

"If the people were to ever find out what we have done, we would be chased
down in the streets and lynched."

"Your enemy is not surrounding your country. Your enemy is ruling your
country."

-- former Texas governor George W. Bush, Jan. 28, 2003, in the most ironic
line delivered in a State of the Union address in recent memory

In his remarks, the president again laid out what the White House called the
Bush Doctrine. "If you harbor terrorists, you are terrorists. If you train or arm a
terrorist, you are a terrorist. If you feed a terrorist or fund a terrorist, you're a
terrorist, and you will be held accountable by the United States and our
friends."

In other words, the President, the CIA, his father and many of their business
partners, cabinet appointees and so-called allies are - based on the
President's own words - terrorists.

Only by bringing them to justice can we ever hope to win the war on
terrorism.

"There ought to be limits to freedom."-GWBUSH Texas governor and probable
presidential candidate George W. Bush called its owner "a garbage man" and said
" There ought to be limits to freedom." The outburst followed two separate
attempts by Bush campaign attorneys to shut down the site. According to "Bush"
spokesperson Ray Thomas, "Anyone at all can now compete for attention with huge,
wealthy corporations--or with well-funded candidates. Bush's 'limits to
freedom' quote is interesting because it reflects the (usually unspoken) desire of
certain market segments to suppress this potential of the Internet." (For
