"I'm not reading this. This is bullshit."--US Secretary of State Colin Powell, reviewing the draft of his speech to the United Nations

I have been describing all along in my writing the determined demented mentality supporting the Free Market. This determined demented mentality is epitomized by the Bush administration. as they continue to invoke the name of God in vain to cover up their lies.

So we have president Bush confirming his commitment to help Africa from the real axis of evil of epidemic wars, epidemic HIV infections, and epidemic starvation by invoking once again the divine inspiration of his administration

"I believe God has called us [United States] into action. Our country has got a responsibility, we are a great nation, we are a wealthy nation, we have a responsibility to help a neighbour in need, a brother and sister in crisis."

Yet the Bush administration continues its Free Market build up of weapons of mass destruction, continues its Free Market expansion of American protectionist copyrights of pharmaceutical drugs in Africa and the world over, and continues its Free Market vision of copyrighted genetically modified food to feed the starving people of the world.

Another time when president Bush invoked the name of God in vain was in the latter part of June when he was in the Middle East to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abas. At that time the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz reported that president Bush was free marketing his Road Map to Peace by stating

"God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them."

It was only yesterday, that I expressed the predetermined divine inspiration of the Bush administration by quoting former US intelligence official Gregory Thielmann

"This administration has had a faith-based intelligence attitude ... 'We know the answers - give us the intelligence to support those answers'."

It is exactly this predetermined divine inspiration to cover up the lies of his administration that has prompted president Bush to continue in having faith in CIA director George Tenet; in fact, there is still so much to cover up about the intelligence failures leading to the 9-11 terror attacks and to the predetermined intelligent links between Saddam Hussein and the Al Qaeda network. The family of the victims of the 9-11 attacks have sued the Saudi royal families for their involvement in the attacks and Bush's lawyer James Baker has volunteered to assist and protect the Saudis' interests.

The Bush's 9-11 independent investigating commission has been reconstituted more than once and the current chairman Thomas H. Kean has complained of delays in getting the requested information, and he has complained about the independence of his own commission by stating "the commission feels unanimous that it's some intimidation to have somebody sitting behind you all the time who works for your agency."

And Bush's wars continue as war is the ultimate cover up of Bush's lies.
