The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder

Vincent Bugliosi, writes a great narrative of the Bush Administration and his deplorable, criminal behavior.
The book makes the case that his actions were not just a case of malfeasance in high office, but a series of deliberate attempts to conceal truths and to mislead our nation into the war in Iraq. This may be unpleasant for some, but it needs to be presented like this, least we forget what he has wrought. Maybe this book will help Americans understand what really has happened, and then maybe we will never let this happen again.

Bugliosi makes a very good case to prosecute Dubya for high crimes. Although not a lawyer, I found his arguments reasonable and well supported.

However, one question the prosecutor never answered is one I believe is fundamental to most cases - motive. Why did Bush do what he did? If all the evidence is so compelling that his adminstration led America into an illegal and ill-conceived war, why? I kept waiting for the answer, but it never came.

Also, Bugliosi has the benefit of history to make his arguments. His rants against the press and citizens regarding their support and "free pass" they gave to Bush are based on knowing what we do now. It's easy to look back over the past 7 years and see we (the gullible public) screwed up, but the evidence was much thinner when Bush was feeding everybody his lies.

And therein possibly lies Bush's biggest and most egregious crime - lying to the people he was supposed to lead and protect and hence manipulating them into fulfilling his misguided ambitions.

Not since 1941 had our homeland been attacked as in 2001 and our Executive Branch did not appear prepared. President Bush made one of the greatest speeches in history shortly after. Bugliosi implies that his words were the only Presuidential thing he did at the time.
The heart of this book is the period from August 6th, 2001 to September 11th, 2001, when our President stayed on an extended vacation while a CIA official and others tried and tried to communicate with Condoleeza Rice and her Boss.
VB details how we shifted from Afghanistan to Iraq (and how we "slam dunked" our way into a country, Fascist Dictator of which recognized, which posed no immediate threat to the security the President swore to uphold). He refreshingly described President Clinton's tenacious moves to identify and to keep in check, anti-American terrorism.
This book makes you think that many people should be arraigned for gross malfeasance of the job we pay for.
His writing style, however, can be very bludgeoning and unclear at times. Some editing could have alleviated maybe 40 pages of redundancy.

Although Bugliosi chides the "nuts" who claim Bush planned 9/11, one could not make a better case for it than he has by listing irrefutible words and deeds, never giving credence to the elephant on the table. I now wonder if Bush was stupidly vacationing at Crawford, or secretly running his empire.

Author does a brillant job in organization and detail about how the Bush administration has hood winked the american public about the Iraq war and why Bush should go to trial for the murder of our very brave soldiers who have been killed needlessly by our psychopathic President.
