Bush's Unsettling Behavior

Is George W. Bush losing it? Is all the pressure and stress of sending people off to die for a lie finally getting to him? Or is it the pressure of continuing to have to stay with a failed strategy that no one supports? Having to lie repeatedly certainly can take a toll on one's soul. He IS losing it though. Watch his recent appearances and his aggressiveness, hostility, attitude, and behavior are quite disturbing.

The Huffington Post has an article about it today. Combine that with his recent press conference when he went off on David Gregory of NBC News. Then did you watch the interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer yesterday? When Wolf asked Bush why he refused to even meet with Iran's Ahmadinejad while both were at the UN the President got very aggressive, leaning forward and talking nonsense.

He was talking nonsense because he doesn't comprehend the importance of at least sitting down and trying to come to an agreement face to face before simply marching off to war. This man makes up his mind to invade someone then there's no changing it. Not making EVERY effort to find a resolution short of war. Not making war ONLY a last resort. Only a madman would refuse to meet and try to forge a diplomatic solution when the opportunity arises. Bush's reaction to the idea? Ridicule.

This behavior is beginning to form a pattern and it isn't good.
