The Silencing of Science

What can we do to change the minds of decision makers and people in general to actually do something about preparing for the forthcoming economic/energy crises (the ones after this one!)?

Well, it means that Bush is either:

A) A liar, as it was made perfectly clear.

B) Completely stupid, as it would have been clear to anyone else, only not to him.

C) Both of the above :(

hmm..

I'm not making excuses for the guy, but I think it entirely possible he'd completely forgotten what had been said in the videoed briefing but the time he made the 'Nobody anticipated' comment.

Either that or he'd never absorbed it in the first place. He does appear to have a very limited attention span these days. Possibly he'd already zoned out -everything going in one ear and straight out the other - by the time Brown mentioned the levees.

I.e not deliberate lies, just an indication of his dysfunctional mental abilities.

No way of knowing, really. In either case he's totally unfit to be President.

I've never considered that man to actually be president.

It's Cheney and Rummy who scare the bejeesus out of me :shock:

How about this clip of Bush saying something he now denies ever saying.

Perhaps further proof that Bush is a liar, a spin doctor, an idiot, a puppet, insane. Take your pick.

Actually it is a big deal, but that is for a discussion on another thread.

I notice, snow hope, that you didn't make the same remark over Tess's post about Huricane Katrina and Bush.

oi! don't tempt him! :)

I think the difference is that I'm 'only' suggesting that Bush was incompetent in failing to plan for hurricane Katrina. You're suggesting (re 9/11) that he actually planned the thing. That might explain why snow hope jumped on you and not on me. I'm suggesting idiocy. You're suggesting conspiracy.

I know I shouldn't have posted that link here. There is a separate thread for that, but since I knew of its existence and Tess had posted similar proof of Bush's incompetence I thought I would include it. It does show how dangerous Bush is.

Many apologies.

Sorry, didn't mean to offend anybody. :)

Yes, I think Bush is a bit of an idiot and probably doesn't remember that he was in a schoolroom rather than outside, when he learnt of the attacks. I suspect it is just a lack of memory for detail, which is starting to happen to me (what a drag it is getting old - said in a Mick Jagger manner).

I posted Big Deal because when I played the link it didn't prove anything to me other than the guy didn't remember.

Sorry snow hope. Shouldn't have jumped to conclusions.

However, this link is not about Bush remembering or not. It is about the fact that these words are not meant to exist, period. It does not tally with the official story which you are free to check out for yourself. Anyway, enough said about this issue.

I was just showing that this clip helps make the argument that the concept of Bush as leader is very scary. Of course, if you don't know why this is relevant then you'd be none the wiser.
