"President George Bush may be compared to Captain Edward John Smith of the Titanic. Both men pretended expertise in their chosen professions; both men created two significant man-made disasters of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Smith sailed too fast through iceberg infested waters during the maiden voyage of the steamship Titanic. He failed to listen to his first officer to slow down. Smith failed to check his parameters. Yet, he proceeded against common sense, visual evidence of icebergs and advice to change course. The Titanic sank with over 1,000 lives wasted at sea.
Bush 'sailed' the United States of America into a fraudulent war based on falsification of the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. He pursued war at any expense for any reason. He arrogantly strode across the aircraft carrier like a male peacock strutting his ego for the world to despise. He proceeded against common sense, reason and advice from wiser men. His "Mission Accomplished" placard proves incongruent after five years of continued war."
