Bush Says, "We'll All Be Dead."

George W. Bush, when asked by Bob Woodward "how is history likely to judge your Iraq war?" replied, "History, we don't know. We'll all be dead." (Woodward Shares War Secrets, CBS News, 60 Minutes, April 18, 2004).

It is possible that Bush's comment "We'll all be dead" might only be subconsciously related to his belief in apocalypse. Perhaps he only meant that by the time "history" is written, we'll all be dead of prevailing disease and old age. If that is the case, the man remains a complete idiot. History did not wait for Hitler to die before condemning him, nor did the Republican party wait for Clinton to die before condemning him. History will not wait for George either. The man is already in deep trouble everywhere but in his half of America.

It is not clear just what Bush meant with his remark if taken outside the context of apocalypse. It is more clear that Bush does not know what he meant either, since his remark doesn't make any sense outside of the context of apocalypse. So, what else is new about our affable guy president?

Interpreting a fool might best be left to fools. On the other hand, Bush does fervently believe that he is doing the work of his god, and we can expect the worst. Given Bush's alcoholic indebtedness to the Old Testament apocalyptic religion that keeps him sober, we are justified in examining his remark in that context, even if Bush did not understand the context within which he made the remark.

Great read...but scary to think that this guy is taking us over the
abyss.

2. translate that into this:

"We don't know. We'll all be dead" in fact means "Don't ask deep questions I never have the answers of. YOU'll ALL be dead because of me anyway, who cares what you think!"

4. Doesn't give a damn

I believe the simple truth is that Bush and his ilk only care about what happens to them and their kind while they're alive. They couldn't care less what happens to this planet and it's inhabitants after they're dead. Here's a man with children (and supposedly he expects to have grandchildren), but "What the hell. They don't have anything to do with me." I don't know whether you'd define that as supreme idiocy, or just plain evil, but it seems to be the way his (limited)mind works.

6. Absolutely spot on.

To Bush, "legacy" means only that your daddy went to the university and joined the frat before you.

All thoughtful and caring American citizens ought be afraid, very afraid. Bush is likely inviting us to the People's Temple for a glass of grape Kool-Aide. --04.23.04

Dr. Gerry Lower lives in the shadow of Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills of South Dakota. His recent book, Jefferson's Eyes, provides an evolutionary paradigm for comprehending American history. No longer can we afford to see our history as an economic success story. We must see our history as a departure from original values (www.jeffersonseyes.com). He can be reached at [email protected].
