"I have zero desire to be on You Tube"


He also states his memoir is "untraditional."  How can a memoir be anything but a recollection of the past?  Oh, maybe if one spins it and lies.  

"Untraditional."  Does he speak like that deliberately?  The word is non-traditional.  I don't even know if there is a word 'untraditional.'in the dictionary.

In Merrium-Webster the word untraditional means to do the opposite of (reverse).  Nontraditional means lacking the usual especially positive characteristics of the thing specified.

That's George.  Amazing. 

...In the video, (click title to entry - thank you) Bush calls the book an "untraditional" memoir that does not simply provide an exhaustive chronological account of his life and years in office....



MASS DECEPTION  (click here) declares G.W. Bush administration used carefully crafted  propaganda to demonize Arabs/Muslims after 9/11 and to create a moral panic.  The author investigates whether that was worth the overall financial and human costs of the war in Iraq.

Dr. Bonn says Bushwas aided by the media in presenting a case that caused a public panic that led to war.  The book, Mass Deception, introduces the notion called "critical communication" to explain how and why the top political leaders and the news media collaborate to create "public panics that benefit both parties."



Dr. Bonn examines the run-up to war, (click here) the war itself, and the occupation of Iraq as done in a manner that violates domestic and international law.  He also observes that Bush's reasons for invading Iraq had nothing to do with national security.



As fellow Republicans decry the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) (click here) bailouts just weeks before the midterm elections, which is expected to cost taxpayers about $51 billion, former President Georgia W. Bush said, "It wasn't that hard for me, just so you know," of the decision to go through with the 2008 bailout. "I made the decision to use your money to prevent the collapse from happening." He must be a socialist! And he probably isn't even an American citizen! (the Hill)
