Bush playing his fiddle while ...... . burns
Have you watched Bush lately. Acts like a guy retiring from ten years of successful service at a local water-park.

3. Bush's mental health has been deteriorating for some time now.
Mr. Bush suffers from a number of diagnosable problems including the effects of being a "Dry Drunk" which shows itself as a number of abnormal thinking processes.(such as jumping to conclusions and then not being able to change his mind) He has a Narcissistic personality disorder and has great difficulty having empathy or understanding other peoples points of view. He has a "I am always right and therefore anyone who disagrees with me is automatically wrong" mind set. He appears to be suffering confusion, and delusion and at times appears not to know where he is. If you compare his speaking ability before he became president and his ability now you can see how much he has become impaired. The fact that he would be willing to do as Olmert wants him to do without question shows that his mental and intellectual ability and functioning could possibly have been reduced to the level of a person with an IQ of 70 or less.
It is very sad to see this decline. I am not a Bush fan but I think it is sad that he will probably be able to use a mental illness defense if he should be charged with either war crimes or crimes against the United States. This defense will probably be shown to be real and it is not possible to prosecute the mentally ill (unless in Texas where they can still be executed) who do not understand the charges against them.
I hope for his sake and the sake of the country he gets the Psychiatric help he needs.

4. Most alcoholics are alcohols
because they have a problem. Quitting drinking doesn't solve that problem.

7. It might solve the problems that drinking causes
but I believe that the drinking starts because of a problem. I had a girl friend that was an alcoholic. I went to AA meetings with her. I saw so much pain at those meetings from so many people that I thought, just keep on drinking. I feel for you. I'm not taking away from what you said, just giving my experience.
