Is Bush Delusional or just a run-of-the-mill Sociopath?

I keep hearing pundits say that Bush really believes in what he is doing; that he does have some kind of messianic delusion about his War on Turr and really believes what he says.

I heard Lindsay Graham say an odd thing to John Dean when Dean testified before the Judiciary Committee. Graham was clearly agitated and red-in-the-face angry with Dean. He asked him if he believed that Bush, Cheney and their co-religionists in the "Cult of Neo-Conservatism" (not his words; mine) believed in what they were saying, that they really believed in what they are doing? Dean said he believed that they probably did. I know Dean has some pretty good inside sources. I doubt he has any, who really know, what George Bush really believes.

From everything I have heard, he does not reveal his mind, directly, to any but a small clique of people. We have had some indicators from insider reports, if they can be trusted. The Bush White House gang are some of the most clever leakers I have ever seen. (Oh yes, they have been caught a number of times, but it sure hasn't really hurt them until last November. They have been able, thanks to the American media and a GOP Congress, to keep this delusion going in the minds of enough Americans for long enough, so they would vote for Bush, in enough numbers to, at least, keep the vote close enough to flip with voting machine chicarnery and out- and-out vote suppression of minorities and others, whom they believed would to be more likely to vote for Democrats) .

They may be falling apart a little now. Sure seems like it.

I am to a point where I do not trust anonymous sources out of the administration, unless what they say rings true with that which I know to be true, because of bipartism evidence. The first book I read about this president was the first Woodward Book and the second was the Paul O'Neil book, by Ron Ruskind, for example.

Number 1: If that it is true, and the guy is really is delusional to the degree he would have to be, at this point, he needs to be out of the White House, yesterday. We do have a 25th amendment, which speaks to what needs to happen if, for any reason, a president is incapacitated, for any length of time at all (I'm not sure if there is a specific length of time mentioned, or if they left it kinda loose, as they usually do, when an amendment it wiritten about anyone's power.) If I am not mistaken, the amendment is a gift from the Eisenhower administration, I think, but I shall have to look it up, to be certain. (Wouldn't it be odd if the last really good Republican president we have had in my lifetime, who warned us implicitly, about the Military/Industrial Complex (the beast which must be fed, and is currently on a freakin' feeding frinzy, if that old General/president has gifted us with a relatively fast answer to our national nightmare).

The delusion would either have to be fully shared by those in his cabinet, or it is their reponsibility to ask for a 25th amendment hearing. I think that if that is the case, that Bush is delusional, his cabinet should be held accountable, with an iron mallet if they have allowed a truly delusional man to sit in the White House.

Number 2:

I have a hard time believing that he is delusional. I have even a harder time believing that we are dealing with a well developed, shared delusion in this situation, no matter how many times "group think" has been blamed for Iraq. No doubt there has been group think. Where can one find a group of authoritarians where there is not group think? Group think is not the same as delusion.

A president who is determined to keep diggin now, that he is 40 feet down into the 5th hell realm of foreign policy, and has heard, loud and clear, from enough dissent to break the windows right out of the White House, were it acted upon in a violent fashion, is either so delusional his cabinet could not miss it, or he is a sociopath, who is willing to sacrifice more lives, blood and treasure, both of Americans and Iraqis, for political reasons, both here at home and in the middle east. This is as much about Saudi Arabia as it is Israel, and it is about both.

Hell yes, it's about the oil. How could anyone ever have doubted that for a minute. But it was more about keeping supplies down, controlling the flow of oil, than it was about cheap oil. What oilman in his right mind would want cheap oil prices. Nor would any American oil man want to be paying Euros for oil. Talk about a kick to the solar plexus of the dollar.

I watch one delaying tactic after another. Every investigation report, is delayed until after one election or another. Why, for God's sake? Shouldn't we hear what the report says before we vote? But No! Reports are delayed for months, or just killed off. To say that reports from important investigations of any branch of our government, can't be released in an election year, because it would just be politics and confusing to the people, is an insult to the American people.

Is this guy just kicking this war of his down the road like a tin can, hoping the entire middle-east doesn't blow up on his watch, or is he determined to make it blow?

His history would lead me to believe that he, at least, would like to drop a huge mess in the lap of his replacement and disappear from sight.

Other than going into Iran, there is no way to get people's attention of the quagmire in Iraq.

Unless.....God forbid....there is another " new pearl harbor," on American soil or one of our naval vessels is sunk, in the Persian Gulf, a more heinous Gulf of Tonkin, one could say.

Someone needs to have a talk with Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney. They need to know, that we are already highly suspicious of the "new Pearl Harbor." A "new Gulf of Tonkin" would leave us with a fair certainty about the NeoCon agenda and just how it was all made possible. much to our everlasting regret.

In other words, Bush-critters, don't even think about it! Be warned!

If you try to keep pushing this failed, immoral policy down our throats, there will be a Constitutional confrontation. Count on it.
