Because he was controlled by people who were all of these things. He was an easily controlled moron.
Cheney was definitely his handler
Came here to say this
Dubya was doing it for the legacy. Daddy issues are a helluva drug.
No one could have predicted GW would be the intellectual one a few decades later.
Bush was the "cleanest" Republican since Nixon only because he was such a Cheney puppet that Dick Cheney's wedding ring is still lost up his ass somewhere. Cheney was president during that timeframe.
I mean, he was double-dealing for the O&G industry right alongside Cheney. He was just the face of the operation while Cheney did all the backroom dealing.
But the idea that the Bush Family wasn't flagrantly profiteering? Give me a fucking break. Family members and friends got lucrative jobs in senior administrative positions. Lobbyists got promoted to executive board rooms. Portfolios rapidly outpaced the market growth rates.
Just ask how Michael Brown, a guy in the boutique thoroughbred horse business, ended up heading FEMA, ffs. Why do you think The Ashcroft Group landed Oracle and AT&T as clients?

Thank you. I could feel an aneurism developing further with every subsequent line.
Especially the financial incentives. Cheney was the former owner of one of the biggest contractors for the war, and they were all tied to the oil industry.
Anyone remember what the wars did to oil prices?
The funny part was the massive gas tax that doubled my gas budget, which was later repealed, but gas prices were unaltered by the repeal. And I think that’s happened like 3 times in my life. I still remember thinking a dollar was expensive for gas.
Both the personal scandals and blackmail material links are about George H. W. Bush, not George W. Bush.
And the wiki for the book literally says it’s all unproven conspiracy theories. Like uh…

Family of Secrets -> Oil depletion allowance -> Quartz -> Piezoelectricity -> Ultrasound -> Lazzaro Spallanzani -> List of Catholic clergy scientists -> Lorenzo Albacete -> Catholic University of America -> Charles Coughlin
Thanks for the rabbit hole! I now know more about a whole deal of subjects, starting with a political theme, gliding over taxation of natural resources, physical phenomena, priest scientists, history of how we found out that bats don't fly by sight, finding out that there were priest scientists in my lifetime, the information that there is an catholic university in the US and landing on the wiki page of a antisemitic radio priest during the time of WW2 that reached around 30 million americans during his prime (funnily enough tying back into the radio grade quartz that is a valid resource for the Oil depletion allowance).
Edit: I haven't even looked into your 2nd link yet.

Hes got strong reverse hitler energy.
Started his presidency w war crimes, then got into painting.
wait until we find out he birthed himself
Too bad there are some corners being cut here.
He's as dumb as Donald but was raised with maybe 1-2 ounces of love whereas Donald was physically beaten with gold bars.

Zero personal scandals? Are we sure about that? Wasn't he an alcoholic with a coke habit?
His wife killed someone while drunk driving too. Also, spreads arms over giant Middle East map, all that war based on lies.
His wife killed someone while drunk driving too
Almost feels wholesome now a days.
Oh, for those halcyon days of normal scandals like vehicular manslaughter and suit colors.

He was just a puppet for that part. If 9/11 never happened he would have been a mediocre 1 term president.
It's pretty wild that he was actually pushing for a fast track to citizenship before that.

wasn't that before he was president?
There's financial incentive anyway, hooking up his boy Dick "Haliburton" Chaney

No handlers? We all already forgot about Dick?
I was gonna say. His entire fucking cabinet was his handlers. Shrub couldn't have successfully managed a baseball team if he hadn't been surrounded by more competent people.
This greentext is delusional

Fuck this post Trump level bullshit. W was a fucking Nazi too. He just didn't sieg heil or fuck little kids like one.
Do you think this post is lauding W?
It's still glossing over the fact he did all that as well. I've seen far too much apologia for W as of late.
And they obviously read part of it based on their comment. Either they stopped after the arrows or their reading comprehension is USA-tier. Them and everyone who voted them up.
W apologia is still fucking W apologia. Everyone started reminiscing on him for some reason after Trump's first election and it made me want to puke. It'd be what, nearly a million dead Iraqis because of his bullshit? Nah, I'm going to get angry when people start making light of his war crimes and say untrue things like he had no financial stake in it.
The post is not apologia and not making light of his crimes. The post is saying there was no one who had leverage on him such that they could force him to do all the stupid shit he did. He just invaded a country and kicked off multiple decades of war in the Middle East for no comprehensible reason, like compromat. In the absence of a "mitigating reason" (as much as you can mitigate "war crimes"), it makes his actions look even worse
I had never heard of W gaining direct financial compensation from going to war. Oiling the US war machine doesn't directly benefit many politicians; it just hoes the farmbed to ensure a healthy crop of corruption keeps growing.
Dick.
He is one, or he wanted one?
Cheney
That happens when your dad is CIA chief then VP then Prez.
Dubz has plenty of blackmail material, he just never had to worry about it.
~~Hatred of brown people~~ Love of the game, baby.
OP is making some wildly incorrect assumptions about Dubya
Because of Daddy.
