Bush describes his post WH plans: probably write a book, start a freedom institute

http://www.foxbusiness.com/story/interview-president-bush-gianni-riotta-rai-tv-italy/

<snip>

Q In the few seconds that are left, what will you do next?

THE PRESIDENT: You know, good question. I haven't had much time to think about it, because I've got a lot to do. But I will probably write a book, talking about the decisions I had to make, precisely to make sure that history understands the conditions and the environment during which I had to make decisions. Start a freedom institute at what's called Southern Methodist University in Dallas, to talk about the universal values of freedom abroad and at home. And other than that, I'm open for suggestions.



:crazy:

snip..."The dialogue “What Is Hidden Behind Your Clothes? Women’s Precarious Working Conditions on Globalized Production Lines”, organized by the Universal Forum of Cultures – Barcelona 2004, in collaboration with Intermón Oxfam and Setem, became a unanimous denunciation of the extreme labor precariousness and exploitation suffered by workers—chiefly women—on the clothes production lines set up by multinational firms in developing countries including Morocco, Honduras and Guatemala; countries where they these companies can benefit from tax incentives, laxer laws and labor costs that are very low compared to western standards. For instance, the average wage given to a female worker in Guatemala is 159 dollars, when the cost of a month’s basic living expenses is 170 dollars."...

11. Who cares about the war criminal's plans.
If there is any justice his future will be in the hands of others.

16. Before I read your caption ....



I was thinking it might have something to do with doing a swan dive.

To think about it, that would solve a lot of problems.

21. Actually The Book Is Probably Being Written As He Speaks - But By Someone Else.......
it will be a way to redefine the history of his 8 year term to provide him some cover. It will be lies to cover up lies. The only Freedom Institute he'll be opening is one to protect his own freedom - because I believe he should be hauled to the Hague.
