NEWS ALERT REGARDING PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH

There are unsubstantiated rumors that leaders of most of the world’s nations are sending “Get Well” cards to the President. They have heard that while visiting his ranch he contracted the disease that is often caught from cattle. This terrible affliction is known as “Foot and Mouth Disease.” In Mr. Bush’s case, however, the doctors are calling it “Foot IN Mouth Disease.”

Leaders began to be suspicious that the American President might be suffering from this mind-altering ailment when they heard rumors that he had nominated prisoner Slobidan Milosovic for the Nobel Peace Prize. When he was asked why he had made such a strange choice, his answer confirmed their fears that he was suffering from “Foot IN Mouth Disease”. However, it is rumored that the doctors may have made a wrong diagnosis. They are now thinking that he may have “Mad Cow Disease” which is just as contagious and causes the mind to deteriorate even more rapidly than “Foot IN Mouth Disease.”

The President boasted that after much careful thought, he had selected this alleged war criminal for this prestigious honor in order to give more credibility to his referring to the notorious, documented serial murderer, Prime Minister Sharon, as a “Man of Peace.”

For any person who feels that it is an insult to the President of our prestigious nation by printing such an unconfirmed rumor, my answer is this:

This is not near as great an insult as it is to the memory of every Palestinian baby, child and mother who has been callously murdered in many different tragic locations over several decades by the orders of former Unit 101 Commander, Ariel Sharon, as it is to refer to P.M. Sharon as a “Man of Peace.”

If any world leader is considering visiting the Bush Ranch, he should be very careful to not get too close to the President, or he, himself may contract either of these dreaded, highly contagious diseases.

In President Bush’s approximate words:

“It was mainly two reasons which compelled me to nominate my long time friend, Slobodon Milosovic, for the Nobel Peace prize. First of all, I am getting fed up. Enough is enough! I am sick and tired of hearing an irresponsible, liberal press falsely accuse certain bold leaders whose friendship I value, of being insensitive to the exaggerated complaints of the oppressed.

“Secondly, I want to powerfully demonstrate, especially to those nit-picking Europeans that I could put the same careful thought into nominating a persecuted European for the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize, as I put careful thought into my characterization of my dear friend, Prime Minister Sharon, as a “Man of Peace.”

This contagious illness of the president makes it imperative that any recent visitors to the Crawford Texas ranch consult their own private medical professionals immediately. It cannot be over emphasized how important it is for them to take immediate steps to cleanse themselves of this highly contagious, often fatal virus that they probably are now carrying. Not only is it visitors to the ranch who must heed this warning. Any one who has visited anywhere that the contagious president has recently visited is in serious danger of having contracted this virus.

It has been well publicized that a certain Arab delegation had their eyes and ears opened to serious signs that the illness was present. At the time they did not yet realize it was actually mental illness that they were observing. Consequently, they gave the president the benefit of the doubt and thought that he only had a very twisted and uneducated mind.

Now, however, they undoubtedly realize that they were observing shocking evidence of the pathetic president’s rapid descent into mental illness. Because they did not yet realize that mental illness was actually the cause of a certain unusual comments coming out of the mouth of a seemingly sane president, initially they were only shocked. It just did not compute in their minds that a man who many consider to be the leader of the free world could make such a crazy, wacky, inappropriate comment. In retrospect, they realize that calling Sharon a “man of peace” should have made them more suspicious about his mental condition. Even before that, when he was only hopeful of becoming a president, he had given a powerful hint on his lack of knowledge about the Middle East by pledging that he would not allow the Arabs to drive the Jews into the Persian Gulf. Also, he powerfully demonstrated his ability to deny reality by boasting that no prisoner in Texas had been put to death while he was governor unless they were absolutely certain of the prisoner’s guilt. This was even though Texas had put to death the most prisoners of any state and that many other honest governors were able to admit that mistakes had been made. But this latest bizarre comment made his other comments seem insignificant.

In the conversation with this Arab delegation, the Arabs were initially pleased that Bush made it clear that he had seen the images on T.V. of the terrible devastation that the Israeli War Machine had visited on Jenin and other West Bank cities and villages. However, despite the reality that he, himself was shocked into disbelief by the unimaginable crushing the Palestinians had experienced at the hands of the U.S. supported Israeli War Machine, the president emphasized that the wicked crushing of the Palestinian people was not his chief concern. Rather, to the utter shock of his listeners, he made it extremely clear that there was something else that he felt compelled to tell to the world.

“We (the United States) will not allow ISRAEL to be CRUSHED.”

That his pathetic twisted mind was obsessed with the potential for Israel to be crushed when the blood had not stopped flowing from the Palestinians being crushed by the Israelis, revealed a deranged priority and a mind that is out of touch with reality. That he actually believes that there is a possibility that the relatively lightly armed and often stone throwing Palestinians could crush the U.S. supported Israeli War Machine is truly insane. If his fear is that the Arabs will unite to crush Israel, there is no chance of that happening except for one possible exception. That is, if a powerful outside nation such as the United Sates would continue to make stupid comments and take stupid actions that would both Inflame, Enrage and Unite Arabs, then with this type of tremendous effort by the United States, this nation could insure a conflagration that would result in all kinds of people in the Middle East being “crushed.”

The comment about “our not allowing Israel to be crushed” when it is Israel who is crushing Palestinians, gives the entire world a very unpleasant picture. It graphically portrays the extent that either Foot in Mouth or Mad Cow Disease has taken on this sincere man’s fragile mind.

For him to have a bizarre private concern for Israel being crushed might somehow be considered by some as having some type of distorted legitimacy. But for him to make a public announcement to the world press that he wanted the entire world to be aware of his comment about protecting the Israelis from being crushed, was quite strong evidence of his very delicate mental state.

For those readers of the world famous literary masterpiece, “The Emperor Has No Clothes,” the parallels in that story with the current president’s mental condition are ominous. Consequently, nervous presidential aids who are sincerely devoted to their sick leader, are scrambling to give his wacky comments a positive spin. It is also reported that they actually tremble when they consider the possibility of other world leaders making such inappropriate comments.

Indeed, they are to be commended for the compassion which compels them to protect their leader from being humiliated in the eyes of the world. They are also convinced that it will further aggravate his condition if he, himself were to become aware of the severity of his own illness. However, most of his closest associates have almost come to terms with the unpleasant reality that the majority of those outside the United States realize that their president’s more bizarre comments would not come from a normal human being. Especially would such comments not come from a rationale man who sees himself as having a responsibility to provide an example of reasonable thinking for the entire world.

President Bush’s rapid and unexpected mental deterioration has caused one unforeseen turn of events. Even Israeli leaders are acknowledging that in light of the undeniable devastation brought by zealous Israeli forces as seen by tens of millions on T.V., the sick statement by the president has cast a long, dark shadow. For the mentally unstable president to publicly voice his concern for Israelis being crushed is an ominous sign of the extent that his disease has progressed. His comment vividly demonstrates that he has lost the ability to be rationale. Consequently, the disease has destroyed any hope that leaders of the free world will any longer be able to take any of his words or proclamations seriously.

Leaders in Israel who have personal integrity and discernment are not rejoicing that the leader of the United States is making such crazy statements in blind support of their nation. Rather, they realize that they are facing a very unpleasant reality. To their deep regret they are observing striking parallels between the condition of the current president of the U.S. and the mental affliction which visited the very first King of Israel, King Saul. Being aware that the stability of Israel is dependant on a mentally stable U.S. President, many perceptive Israel, leaders are beginning to quote over and over to themselves a statement from the scriptures from the deeply sad king David shortly after his predecessor king Saul had experienced death in battle. The words of David were uttered when he was lamenting the fall of the House of Saul. This fall of the King’s dynasty had been mainly due to the King’s arrogance and severe mental deterioration. Though King Saul had persecuted David, David had observed first hand the rapid mental deterioration of his King. Being a compassionate man, he was deeply grieved by the fall of his King and the King’s entire family.

Consequently, many of Israeli’s current leaders who see the handwriting on the wall are applying King David’s mournful words to the impending fall of the House of Bush, and the heavy blow that his fall will be to the nation of Israel.

“Oh, how the MIGHTY have fallen!

Oh, how the Mighty have fallen!

Oh, how the mighty …”

OUR PRESIDENT’S OWN DIAGNOSIS

Within less than twenty-four hours after completing the above partial parody, I received a new insight from the life of the highest authority in our own land. It is an understatement to say that my President’s remarks had a direct relationship to what I had just finished writing.

I was flipping through the T.V. channels in my home when a speaker on a public access channel caught my eye. Then a few minutes later the location changed with a U.S. Senator introducing our President who would speak on his support for broadening the insurance coverage of what should be considered mental illness. (This was probably a re-broadcast of a speech previously given.)

What shocked me were the President’s own persuasive words on why such a condition as Obsessive-Compulsive behavior must now be considered as a mental illness and should receive professional treatment.

Then I suddenly realized that though the President definitely has neither Foot- in- Mouth disease nor Mad Cow disease, his own words made it quite clear that he himself is suffering from a recognizable and treatable mental illness; obsessive- compulsive disorder.

Somehow, the Zionist propaganda which repeatedly proclaims that the Arabs and/or Palestinians will drive the Israelis into the sea or crush them, has so gripped the fragile psyche of this impressionable president that he has developed an obsession and compulsion regarding this subject. Furthermore, he has convinced himself that he is the one who is to prevent this from happening.

A devastating sad side effect of this illness is that the President’s bizarre preoccupation with this obsession which he repeatedly mentions, very negatively impacts the already suffering Palestinians. However, there is a positive side of recognizing this as a treatable mental illness instead of just irrational, unjust foreign policy. When the people of the Arab World recognize that we have a partially mentally ill president, rather than a president who does not appear to care about the blood of Palestinians because the blood of Israelis is so much more precious, hopefully, they can partially resolve their hate for him by seeking to replace their rage with understanding and compassion. They can also pray that his advisors will have the compassionate wisdom to help him obtain the treatment that he so obviously needs.

Regrettably, it must constantly be kept in mind that the symptoms of mental illness are often quite subtle. In fact, there are sad precedents in history where charismatic leaders have actually drawn their advisors and associates into their aberrant behavior which then resulted in terrible suffering for multitudes as a result of wars they irrationally initiated.

A recent vivid illustration of how evil the effects can be of this subtle manipulation of multitudes by the mentally ill, was accomplished by this president concerning the alleged potential war crimes at Jenin. In our presidents severe psychological need to defend Israel he cleverly convinced the world and possibly even the Saudis that as a statesman he had advanced the peace process. But his illness enabled him to deceive others and himself, by betraying the blood of many Palestinians who were very possibly victims of war crimes at Jenin. He accomplished this betrayal by assuring the Israelis that there would be no timely U.N. investigation. The President actually appeared to be a statesman by gaining the release from his Ramallah prison of Yasser Arafat. But to do this he guaranteed the Israelis that they would not be accountable for any war crimes they had committed against the Palestinians there.

Though President George Bush has immorally guaranteed that there will be no timely U.N. investigation at Jenin, is there not a realistic possibility that his own mental condition is at least a partial defense for his otherwise inexcusable behavior?

RACISM OR MENTAL ILLNESS?

On May first, while watching evening T.V., I had a shocking and depressing experience. Host, Chris Matthews of MSNBC “Hardball” was interviewing a person of very high stature in the present government of the United States. His distinguished guest was a member of the President’s own Republican Party and significantly is from the President’s home state of Texas.

The high status government position that this apparently sane man occupies is no less than the exalted leadership position known as the Republican Majority Leader of the U.S. Congress.

That the Republican Majority Leader, Dick Armey, astonished his T.V. host was quite obvious. Republic Majority Leader, Armey, was candid and unwavering in his position that he was totally in favor of all Palestinians being removed from the West Bank and being resettled in other Arab Countries. In other words he openly advocated ETHIC CLEANSING.

He was emphatic that the entire West Bank should be awarded to Israel! (I am sure that Mr. Armey is one of the many American congressman who sit around attempting to figure out why Arabs and especially Palestinians hate and distrust America. He also is probably wondering what could discourage young Palestinians to such an extent that they would seek revenge through suicide.)

Representative Armey irrationally attempted to justify his racist, unjust position. He said that Jews had been forced by circumstances to be resettled to where they are now, so why should there not be a similar resettlement of Palestinians into Arab countries?

Without any attempt to answer this important leader’s deranged logic, his all too popular Final Solution has two significant implications to my present considerations. It means that current Arab leaders must decide how extreme will be their response to such vocal hostility which reveal racist attitudes by so many members of the U.S. congress, who Mr. Armey represents. But it also means that I must reconsider my position that President Bush’s compulsion to make irrational comments against Palestinians and comments in blind support of Israel is definitely a borderline mental illness. Rather, the trapped President may be simply exhibiting survival skills while struggling to lead in an atmosphere permeated with racism and hysteria regarding Middle Eastern Arabs and especially Palestinians.

There appears to be three highly marketable circumstances that members of our congress such as Mr. Armey and our administration use to cover for their racist bias against Arabs. They also use these same marketable circumstances to cover for their strong cultural and religious bias that exalts Israelis to a totally unreasonable level.

The first circumstance that provides a convenient cover is that there is believed to be compelling evidence that President Hussein of Iraq is preoccupied with chemical and biological weapons and in developing nuclear weapons. Therefore, he is considered a threat to the entire world that only U.S. weaponry can correct. They persist in this conviction even though an expert such as Scott Ritter who was a chief U.N. inspection leader in Iraq is absolutely convinced that there are not near the chemical and biological weapons in Iraq that the American Administration is claiming that there are. Also, inspector Ritter insists that more inspections are a much more reasonable way to ensure that Iraq will not cause a problem for the world than is a U.S. invasion of Iraq with the intension of killing Hussein.     

The second cover is that certain horrible circumstances have driven certain Palestinian youth to seek revenge for injustice through suicide bombing of innocents. This means to too many congressmen that too many Arab leaders support these acts of desperation. So, in these congressmen’s minds, this distorted conviction makes all Arab leaders suspect.

I will now expand upon the third cover that is used to illustrate how twisted and counter- productive the administration’s responses are. It is well known that the vast majority of the September 11^th suicide bombers were Saudi Arabian. However, it is seldom discussed that this overwhelming Saudi participation was cleverly manipulated by a calculating Osame Bin Laden with definite achievable goals in mind. Foolishly and irresponsibly our government overlooks his goals, and is instead preoccupied with revenge and destruction. His main goal was not to kill people, but he was hoping to drive a deep wedge between the Americans and the Saudis. Therefore, he chose mostly Saudis to be on the planes which crashed into the New York buildings and into the Pentagon. His calculated intention was to initiate a downward spiral of the U.S., the Saudi and the world economies as a result of the U.S. and Saudi Arabia going their separate ways.

Because Mr. Bin Laden so skillfully exploited the already existing congressional Anti- Arab bias, he is being exceptionally successful in moving toward his goals. He has laid a firm foundation for sending the U.S. economy and the Saudi economy and to a lesser degree the world economy, into a suicidal downward spiral.

Though he thinks in terms of tearing down rather than building up, it strangely appears that Mr. Bin Laden’s thinks at a broader level than the majority of the legal minds who are attempting to run our government and the world. Consequently, he has succeeded at enflaming and enraging the American leaders to such an extreme degree that they have totally lost touch with reasonable priorities and have made their main priority, killing people.

They are ready to spend billions on trying to kill or capture all who they consider to be world terrorists. But while they hysterical attempt to accomplish this impossible task, they are willing to bankrupt their own nation in the process. They are also willing to alienate the United States from significant nations such as Saudi Arabia which myopic leaders have stupidly convinced themselves that they no longer need.

Oh, how the MIGHTY have fallen!

… The Mighty have fallen!

… The mighty have fallen!

**(In my use of mental illness to illustrate the current President’s loss of rationality, I apologize to all who have an appropriate sensitivity for the mentally ill. I do not wish to in any way offend them in by suggesting that our President may fit into this category.)
