Bush on Steroids

George Bush held a press conference yesterday during which he displayed arrogant, rude behavior toward the press corps. Friends, we are in for it! This man is going to be more insufferable than ever. He is convinced that he now has the complete support of the American people. There is no stopping him now. Katie bar the door.

In a press release November 3rd, the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom reminded us just what George will be up to in his second term:

• preemptive war
• rejection of international law
• contempt for negotiated resolution of conflict and international law
• deception of the US people, our representatives, and the world
• building a national security state
• rolling back civil liberties- particularly for women and minorities
• redirecting the economy to serve the very rich and the corporations they control
• and the ultimate violence of reckless disregard for natural resources, the environment, and the future of the earth on which we depend.

In other words, as was pointed out many times during the campaign, George Bush intends to continue the key policies of his first administration. Bush is now our l'enfant terrible.
