Robert Parry: 'Is Bush deceptive or delusional?'
Date: Sunday, October 03 @ 10:13:48 EDT
Topic: Commander-In-Thief


By Robert Parry, Consortium News

George W. Bush still can't - or won't - get his brain around some central facts that bear on his decision to invade Iraq in 2003. He falsified that history again during the Sept. 30 presidential debate.

Before a national audience, Bush misrepresented what should now be uncontested facts: that Iraq possessed no stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction; that international sanctions did work; that the inability of U.N. inspectors to find WMDs in Iraq was not because they were incompetent but because there was nothing to find.

Bush's inability - or unwillingness - to frankly acknowledge these realities remains one of the most troubling aspects in his bid for a second White House term. Either he's living in a fantasy world where facts are whatever he thinks they are or he has concluded that most American voters are very stupid and will believe whatever he tells them.

During the debate with Sen. John Kerry in Coral Gables, Fla., Bush continued to present a version of reality that has long been discredited.

2. couldn't he be both
deceptive and delusional? Maybe the former leads to the latter. Have seen that before.
