George Bush must be removed from office
Jul. 1st, 2003 01:42 pm"God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them." -- George Bush, as cited by Mahmoud Abbas
If Abbas is lying, George really needs to get on national TV and unconditionally denounce him as a liar, stat.
Ladies and gentlemen, whatever you think of his policies or character, the last thing you want is someone with his finger on the button who thinks God is telling him who to strike down.
I do believe this opens up a third approach to removing him from office, to boot: electoral defeat and criminal impeachment are already on the table, but I do believe a president can be removed from office if it turns out he's, say, clinicly insane. Of course, that takes the cabinet's approval, and they seem to share his halucinations.
Aside from concerns about mental stability, if he is honestly making executive decisions based on what he thinks God is telling him, and it's as simple as "God said do it, and I did it," then all that talk about Saddam being a bad person, all that talk about WMDs (remember WMDs?), all that talk about terrorism was just words -- after all, if God had told him not to attack, he'd have listened.
It's a pity God didn't mention anything about bearing false witness, murder, or any of those other things he seems to have occasioned to mention to the rest of us.
