"When a person has uncomfortable thoughts or feelings, they may project these onto other people, assigning the thoughts or feelings that they need to repress to a convenient alternative target."
This sounds like an apt description of Bush's blame game:
“'The consequences of imposing such a specific and random deadline for withdrawal would be disastrous', Bush said in an address to the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association in Washington today.. 'It makes no sense for politicians in Washington DC to be dictating arbitrary timelines for military commanders in a war zone 6,000 miles away'."
Do you wonder if Bush has any remorse for what he has done to this country and to the people in Iraq with his NeoCon theorizing? Do you think he has any idea that he has the lion's share of culpability in this?
Of course not? "They" brought it on themselves:
“'September the 11th was not only a day that we were attacked, it is a day this country must never forget', he said. 'What happens overseas matters here at home… For me, allowing the world to run its natural course, which can lead to more violence and hatred, will end up reducing the security of the United States'."
Bush tells us that "they" are "the terrorists", but who are "the terrorists". Does he mean Al Quaeda, who had a bloody beef with us about our bases in Saudi Aradia and actually did the attacking, or does he mean the one's he, and by association, we created as a result of invading and decimating Iraq over bullshit lies?
The answer is simple: It doesn't matter to him. Whatever.
To still be humping the corpses of our dead on September 11th to justify the disaster he brought into existence "sticks in the throat of God", to quote the true Poet Laureate, Allen Ginsberg, and should so thoroughly nauseate the citizens of these United States as to make them do little else but howl with wrath. It is unconscionable.
I won't be the first to point this out, but I will reiterate it because it happens to be true: Bush, Cheney, and their sycophants are Sociopaths, and not just because they are "...Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed." Play at home: go through the profile and check off the attitudes of the Administration and compare to the list.
The only thing the people will blame the Democrats for is being duped, and not putting this insane tyrant on trial.
I can't blame Bush for keeping with the September 11 excuse for situations that have no connection to it(I do blame him for starting to do it).
ReplyDeleteAs long as a huge percentage of this country grunts in agreement, he has no reason to change his tune. That's the only thing he's found that works.
"For me, allowing the world to run its natural course, which can lead to more violence and hatred, will end up reducing the security of the United States."
ReplyDeleteA succinct statement of Neocon theory. I wonder why the rest of the world hates us the way they used to hate Stalin.
