Some people trust Putin and we understand that this coming from his mouth has to be something meaningful. Well everybody would agree Putin isnt a fool. So lets talk about George Bush and why he might be innocent or for that matter a culprit.
Its not to brand him an innocent or a culprit that I have opened this thread, its only to get a better idea of the situation and the person everyone so loves to criticize, maybe he doesnt deserve it. So there is no harm looking at it from a different perspective.

Hey dude,
I have to disagree with you on that one. I don't for one moment buy the idea that Bush is this great guy who naively believed in everything good and right and was led up the garden path by evil handlers. I'm just going off what I've read in Al Martin's book 'The Conspirators', which is a fun read. Martin was involved in the Iran-Contra frauds of the 80s with the Bush boys, Oliver North and the rest of the corrupt wing of the Republican party. He reckons all the Bush boys had a type of fraud that they specialised in - W's was insurance fraud, but he reckons he may have only made between 1-2 million during that time. At one point, he borrowed money from a failing bank to short the stocks of the same bank, make a profit and default on the loan after the bank failed so as to not have to pay back the original loan! He was one of the boys.
On almartinraw.com, he predicted that the presidency under bush would return to the 'bush' form of government: an excuse the ramp up defence spending to pay back generous defence contractors for Republican donations; tax cuts for the wealthy; surplus intended to pay the national debt and social security money stolen by HW would be absorbed by tax cuts. Look much different to things 8 years down the track?
9/11. Two wars. Iran looming. Russia. He's a bad guy. His people are bad people. They don't care about Americans, they care about themselves. Their buddies are getting the bailouts on Wall St. Not on the inner circle, you get cut loose.
Hell, who is Putin to be saying something like that? He's had people killed all over the joint.
