  George W Bush is the AntiChrist
Bush says that God (rather than the Supreme Court) chose him to lead the nation, and he sees himself on a divine mission.
Bush wrote in his autobiography it was, "so secret, I can't say anything more." But I can: We know that initiates undergo torture, kiss a scull, press a human femur bone to the initiates backside, act out a throat slashing ritual murder, and they pledge allegiance to a figure dressed up as Satan.
Bush's grandfather Prescott Bush, also a 'scull and bones' man, got rich first by helping the Nazis come to power, then helping Hitler build the war machine that would decimate the world, and then even benefiting from Nazi slave labor and the extermination of millions of Jews.

Perhaps we have stumbled upon a quantitative metric for Bush’s compassionate conservatism as practiced in Iraq: hold your fire until 20m, that’s compassionate; waste ’em at 50m+, that’s conservatism.
Bush’s global project is toast; he just doesn’t realize it yet, despite all the "superior information" in the world.
Oddly enough, Bush is acutely aware of the importance of manipulating public opinion domestically but scorns the same PR when it comes to the rest of the world.

 Character Above All: George Bush Essay
In his district, Bush told a town meeting, which jeered him, that it seemed "fundamental that a man should not have a door slammed in his face because he is a Negro or speaks with a Latin American accent." He wrote a friend, "I never dreamed the reaction would be so violent.
Instead, Bush prattled away that he had the big momentum--the "Big Mo"--which suggest to conservatives that he was not a leader who took their causes with due gravity.
Bush's eight years as Reagan's number two were made miserable by his ostentatious effort to convince what he privately called the "extra-chromosome" conservatives that he was not some kind of closet one-world liberal.

Bush for the onset of the recession in 2001.
For Bush's warning of a mushroom cloud over an American city, though false with respect to Iraq, was indisputably well-founded in regard to Pakistan's nuclear one-stop-shopping: The next warning stemming from this kind of failure could indeed be a mushroom cloud.
Bush of course had already named the Pyongyang government as a member of the "axis of evil." It had long been the policy of the United States that nuclearization of North Korea was intolerable.

 Was the vote for Bush a vote for war?
But Ali and many other left-wing opponents of President Bush’s election campaign argued that a vote for Bush would be seen throughout the world, especially by Arab nations, as a vote for the U.S.-led war in Iraq.
According to this argument, a second Bush term would signal that millions of Americans, for the first time, declared themselves in favor of the Iraq war, in favor of attacking a country that had not and could not attack the United States.
Rather, the votes for Bush and Kerry, each in their own way, were confused statements of solidarity for the soldiers, for the nation’s sons and daughters, neighbors and friends.

Bush is sending the Iraq-weary Guard to the border to mollify hardline conservatives who are building their careers around - whether they say this explicitly or not -- a brown invasion from the south.
Bush would be better off figuring out how much labor the United States needs, figuring out a way to making it legal, and working with Fox to improve the lives of Mexicans in Mexico so they will not want to flee.

 Bush's Bloodbath in Babylon: 'Coincidence' and Consequences by Chris Floyd
Bush wants big bucks [the request was for $500 million] to run 'counter-insurgency' and 'counter-terrorist' operations in 'ungoverned areas' of the world – and in the hinterlands of nations providing 'sanctuary' for terrorists.
To relieve the overstretched U.S. military, the 'action' will be carried out largely by Bush's new hired guns: religious and ethnic militias, tribal forces, mercenaries, cultists, insurrectionists, druglords, pirates – basically anyone willing to slit throats and terrorize populations at the order of the Oval One.
And in fact, Rumsfeld and other Bush officials increasingly talk of combating not just terrorism but a "global insurgency" – as if the whole world is now an American colony, filled with recalcitrant "natives" rising up against their rightful masters.

 Baltimore Independent Media Center: Marching on Babylon: Is Bush Acting Out an Elaborate Religious Fantasy thru War?
Bush, like Ashcroft, believes (and in fact is trying to insure) that the world is in the "end times" called for by the biblical book of Revelation - at least as interpreted by the doomsdayers, who are generally barely functional clinically classical paranoid schizophrenics (Pat Robertson being a prime example).
The support Bush has shown Israel isn't because of his pro-Jewish sentiments, it is because the "end times prescription" calls for Jews to be in complete control of all of Israel at the time of the big event.
Bush's mentor, Billy Graham, as he grew in international fame, became very adept at appearing far more non-fanatical than he truly is in order to draw a bigger audience, a bigger bank account.

 Swans Commentary - Special Iraq - "Tariq Ali On The Recolonisation Of Iraq," by Tanweer Akram
Yet the Bush administration was able to convince a majority of the American people that the invading US military would be greeted as liberators.
The events of September 11, 2001, provided the Bush administration with the opportunity to invade Iraq on various pretexts, primarily that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, had links to the al Qaeda terrorist organization, and posed an imminent threat to the security of the United States.
Although these allegations were demonstrably false (and have been amply debunked), the Bush administration was able to carry out this war in spite of the opposition of world public opinion.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A portrait of President Bush using monkeys to form his image led to the closure of a New York art exhibition over the weekend and anguished protests on Monday over freedom of expression.
"Bush Monkeys," a small acrylic on canvas by Chris Savido, created the stir at the Chelsea Market public space, leading the market's managers to close down the 60-piece show that was scheduled to stay up for the next month.

God says Babylon shall never be rebuilt to the glory and power she enjoyed while she was the capital of the Babylonian Empire.
The context of Babylon being as destroyed as Sodom and Gomorrah is as the Chaldean capital; certainly, the Medo-Persian armies overthrew Babylon, the pride of the Chaldeans, thus making it prophetically impossible for Babylon to be rebuilt by Antichrist.

Bush in Babylon is as well a magnificent cultural history; a heartfelt homage to the great poets of Iraq and the Arab world whose influence remained strong throughout their long periods of exile, and who are united in poetic resistance to the latest catastrophe.

Rather, it is the insidious conflation by the Bush administration that Iraqis resisting the occupation are identical to the terrorists who attacked America on 9/11.
It is, perhaps, Bush’s ultimate bait and switch, allowing his administration to pursue an imperial agenda under the pretext of fighting terrorism.
You don’t have to read “Bush in Babylon” to recognize that America’s attempt to impose democracy in Iraq is a contradiction in terms, but it certainly makes that point ever more salient.

This book isn't really about either George Bush, and there is no listing in the index for Babylon, which seems to have a meaning long established for Bible readers who have not become so fundamentalist that they imagine it was simply a city with an empire.
This book was written a year ago, but there has been so little change in what Bush stands for in the last year that the message seems to be substantiated by every insurrectionary incident in the interim.
