Mad as a fox
Again we have the inflation of the mental capacity of George W. Bush. His entire adult life has been marked by criminality and incompetence: military desertion, insider trading, crony business deals, election theft, enabling the September 11, 2001 attacks, lying the country into war, enabling the destruction and aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, torture, kidnapping, denial of due process, and the treasonous exposure of an intelligence officer.
But somehow he is anointed with a madness about Iran, a country he barely knows to exist, and probably couldn't find on a map. The real madness of George W. Bush is the fear of being held responsible for his crimes, and spending the rest of his days in a well-deserved prison cell.
So the succession of wars is a Ponzi scheme, meant to provide cover for previous crimes, listed above. Will the nation fall for it again? It all depends on the enabling he gets from the mass communications media. A surefire way to divert attention is to change the subject from his criminality to an argument over whether he is mad or not.
The state of mind of George W. Bush should not be our main concern. If he is truly "mad," then everyone around him is equally "mad." Mad as foxes.
The focus should be on his criminality.
