You say your a lawyer but you didn't answer my question when I asked if incompetence is a crime?

Then you said "Bush could be both, but the motives aren't as important as the actions." Since when are motives not important to a lawyer?

Then you asked me if we are agreeing or disagreeing. I've never seen a lawyer unable to tell whether someone is agreeing or disagreeing with them. Did my stance change? Did yours? If so, then how?

Then you said this, "His education, high-level jobs, etc. would preclude this - just the fact that he can read would preclude this." Do you have a link for this. Mental health experts make that decision mot lawyers.

I thought lawyers had great analytical skills, perhaps I'm wrong.

One more try:

Here is your example of Bush's incompetence: "I don't think anyone could look at the mess in Iraq & see competence. The difference is that Bush & co. are incompetent through sheer arrogance. They don't care about the result, or are so absolutely convinced of their own delusions that they won't listen to those w/more experience or knowledge. Then the reality crumbles around them. I truly believe that Bush did think they'd be greeted with flowers & parades when they entered Iraq. They did think they could install Chalabi & cruise right into Syria. That wasn't very competent of them. And really, I think their incompetence is the Achilles' heel of this regime - they even manage to screw up their own evil plans."

Here is what his daddy thought: In explaining to Gulf War veterans why he chose not to pursue the war further, he said, "whose life would be on my hands as the commander-in-chief because I, unilaterally, went beyond the international law, went beyond the stated mission, and said we're going to show our macho? We're going into Baghdad. We're going to be an occupying power — America in an Arab land — with no allies at our side. It would have been disastrous."

He ignored what his poppy refused to do and that was his choice. That's not incompetence it's willful disregard.


Peace.
