A half century ago, in 1957, an interesting and entertaining movie called the “Three Faces of Eve” dealt with a woman with three distinct personalities existing within her brain.  These personalities would appear and disappear without warning.  Joanne Woodward, who played Eve, won an “Oscar” as Best Actress.  At that time, the concept of multiple personalities existing within a person was not as well accepted within the psychiatric community, as is the case today.  However, the author of the book, from which the movie took its form, and the scriptwriter who fashioned this superb film, could never have imagined just how many personalities could be contained within the brain of just one human being.  And, remember, those persons with a multiple personalities disorder, often do not themselves realize their own psychiatric condition.  In this particular case, I refer to our President and Commander in Chief, George Walker Bush.  In no particular order, here are his several faces.

THE FAMILY MAN:  I doubt that anyone would dare suggest that Mr. Bush is a not a good husband and father.  His wife and daughters seemingly admire and respect him.  Kudos, Mr. President, that’s admirable, and a gold star on the refrigerator for you!   

THE POLITICIAN:  Growing up at his father’s knee, it would be surprising if he did not develop into at least a passable politician.  George Sr., as the ex-President and ex-C.I.A. Director, well knew where all, or at least most of the bodies were buried.  G.W. attended Yale, where he became a member of the semi-secret “Skull and Bones” association, as had been his father.  These contacts, and those made later through his obtaining an MBA Degree from Harvard were of considerable value to him.  Then, his rise through the tough training school of Texas politics, which eventually gave him the governorship of that state, well prepared him for the national arena.  

THE “BORN AGAIN” CHRISTIAN:  In fairness to Mr. Bush, his character is so convoluted that it could well be that he himself believes that he is a Christian.  However, actions speak louder than words, and his continuous bias in favor of Islam, his attempts to destroy our sovereignty, and involving our country in a bloody war for political gain gives the lie that he is a “born again” Christian, or for that matter, any type of Christian believer!  His bias in favor of Islam should prove that he has not read the Koran, or prefers to disregard its message, and his lack of knowledge of the Bible, or its disregard, is indicated by not heeding the passage of Revelations warning lukewarm Christians, “I will spew you out of my mouth”!    

THE ACTOR:  Mr. Bush possesses, as do many Hollywood actors, the facility to cry on cue.  When visiting wounded soldiers at Walter-Reed Hospital, tears would often well into his eyes.  Once, when visiting a soldier with an amputated hand, he leaned over and kissed the stump, an op-ed well worthy of Bill Clinton.  In fairness to Mr. Bush, this gesture might have been entirely sincere, perhaps a twinge of guilt, since he has been  directly responsible for the death and maiming of thousands of other soldiers.   
  
THE GLOBALIST:  Every president, since Jimmy Carter, has been controlled by the Globalists.  Even Ronald Reagan sat down with a tete-a-tete with David Rockefeller the day before he garnered the Republican nomination.  Sad, but true!  G.W., the son of the first President to openly speak of “the New World Order” has well advanced their agenda.  Briefly stated, their goals are one world government, with themselves, the super-elitists, controlling all aspects of our lives.  Bush’s main assigned task, while still in office, is to make one political entity out of Canada, the United States and Mexico. His insistence in granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants is a key factor in this effort.
    
THE “COWBOY”:  Foreign countries call our president a “cowboy” as a derogatory term, which in his particular case, should be.  However, at least in many areas of the U.S., being called a cowboy is still a compliment.  The word “cowboy” brings forth the mental picture of an honest, strong and self-reliant individual.  But, a small ranch in Texas, cowboy boots, a Stetson hat, a pickup truck, with a bale of hay in the bed, along with a bit of tack (harness), does not a cowboy make!  

THE ULTIMATE HYPOCRITE:  In the first days of planning his initial campaign for the Presidency, Mr. Bush, in a meeting with Paul Rove and in the presence of the author Craig Winn, discussed the political desirability of invading Iraq.  Mr. Winn’s website Prophet of Doom.net mentions this meeting.  Later, three White House insiders, who published books after leaving the Bush Administration, also mentioned this strategy.  Bush offered two justifications to the American public, and the world, for the Iraq invasion.  One was the probability of Saddam Hussein’s possession of weapons of mass destruction and the other was to depose Saddam Hussein, a cruel dictator, and end the oppression towards his own people.  

But, there were other Muslim countries, such as the Sudan, Mauritania and Syria, to name just three, with cruel dictators if this were to be a valid criterion for the invasion.  Surely by coincidence, none of these three nations has any well proven petroleum reserves.  And, though Iraq certainly had WMD’s, at least chemical weapons and delivery missiles previous to the First Gulf War, there was no hard evidence that Hussein had dedicated much time or effort to their further development after that war.  Perhaps an insolent question, but does anyone in their right mind believe that we would have invaded Iraq if Saddam Hussein had possessed the capability of delivering an atomic attack against large concentrations of our troops?  Not even Bush would have risked losing 50,000 or more troops in a single atomic blast. Any political advantage gained from deposing Sadam Hussein would have been wiped out in a nano-second.

Think about it!
