Bush's Erratic Behavior Worries White House Aides
The part about Bush firing Tenet I found especially interesting. If true I was wrong that he was just burned out..


http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_4636.shtml


President George W. Bush?s increasingly erratic behavior and wide mood swings has the halls of the West Wing buzzing lately as aides privately express growing concern over their leader?s state of mind.

In meetings with top aides and administration officials, the President goes from quoting the Bible in one breath to obscene tantrums against the media, Democrats and others that he classifies as ?enemies of the state.?

Worried White House aides paint a portrait of a man on the edge, increasingly wary of those who disagree with him and paranoid of a public that no longer trusts his policies in Iraq or at home.

?It reminds me of the Nixon days,? says a longtime GOP political consultant with contacts in the White House. ?Everybody is an enemy; everybody is out to get him. That?s the mood over there.?

Don't believe everything you read at this site. I'd love to believe aWol is cracking up but, a claim like this is worthless slander unless it's substantiated by a real person.

3. Ok,
don't know much about them, but I take every news story like this to be unproven without a good second (or third) source. Can you tell me more about capital Hill Blue??

Can't expound on the site since I don't know the people running it. However, in the law there's a latin saying "res ipsa loquitur", which roughly tranlated means "the thing speaks for itself". The "thing" here is the fact that no sources are named other than by position. Hence, the article lacks credibilty on it's face. That's all I'm sayin.

He is, and it's really scarey, because he still has so much power.

2. "Increasingly wary of those who disagree with him?"
How could he ever be even MORE wary than he always has been?

7. if this has been posted many times....how come the news isn't picking it u
Why is mainstream media not reporting on any of these things. If this is true the American people should be aware, so when they vote in November they can make an informed decision. No wonder half the county still thinks Bush is doing a great job. How can this type of media suppression be going on in a country that prides itself as a democracy with freedom of speech? I am very confused.
