"State of Denial" The senior science editor at Newsweek magazine has suggested that President Bush is mentally ill writing that he is "in a state of denial" over the Iraq war. Sharon Begley offers as proof the president's insistence the war will succeed, despite what she calls "setback after setback." She continues: "While it's always risky to psychoanalyze a politician from afar, a few things in his past are consistent with the capacity for denial." She offers up the fact that as a seven-year-old boy, the president tried to comfort his mother after his baby sister died of leukemia. Begley writes: "The tip-off for denial is perpetual optimism, a pathological certainty that things are going well." She also cites the fact that Mr. Bush has battled alcohol abuse, saying such people, "typically need to see the world in black and white in order to stay on the wagon."

NOONE BUT A RICH PERSON CAN GET AWAY WITH CRIMES LIKE THIS, HOWEVER, HIS SOUL BELONGS TO GOD. HE WILL BE JUDGED. SO SAYS THE LORD" (# 18: 6:19 pm PDT, Jun 15, Cheryl Atwell, Missouri; Retrieved September 4, 2008 from http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/get-bush-out). |
