Let me point out that Captain Queeg was starkers and psycho. I think the analogy is apt. It my be Bush himself, and it may be the trolls and warts he takes on for an entourage, but it is still his responsibility; he has unleashed murder and chaos on the strength of an empire-mad whim. The counter-forces being marshaled against him are no better, but both sides have left body parts and dead parents and wounded orphans all across the Mesopotamian sands, and it is a disgusting demonstration of human failure, greed, and destructiveness at its very worst. The fact that he can parade around posing as a political leader with this chaos on his hands, lying and butchering the English language as badly as his war-dogs have butchered the lives of so many people across the sea just redoubles his despicability rating. And his disrespect for the REAL construction of the American experiment, including his frivolous attitude and manipulative undermining of the constitution, simply demonstrates he is just as psychotic domestically as he has been internationally.

What he does do well is ruthless power games. But so does any two-bit dictator.
Don't tell me he isn't stupid. His solutions have lead to a morass of death and struggle. How smart is that? He has the brains of an iguana, and the personality of a horned toad. If you are fooled by his artificial twang and his posturing, shame on you. He's a lousy snake, and a lousy leader, and an incompetent President.
