This is not just an anti bush song. It is merely telling the truth. In these trying times, people turn to all sorts of places. They try to blame the president, they try to blame God. There are so many religous symbols in this song it's incredible. My thoughts on this, from the beginning:
-once the communist now the terrorist-tells how the worlds enemy has turned from communism in the post WWII era to the terrorist in todays world.
-the gathering storm- can be seen as all the investigations and what not going on but have nothing to do with the truth
-bombed out cars-are obviously car bombs and their victims
-nameless names on the mispelled graves-are our soldiers and innocents taken by terrorism and what-not
-liberate your people siad the bunin' Bush- bush promising freedom
-growl with oil soaked teeth-the oil barons and iraq's supply
-the eagle soars the sky....-talks about how america is strong and is "above" everyone else
-as we scream at the wailing wall- the wailing wall is a very important religious symbol, especially in the end times, said to be where people will turn after the apocalypse. This also suggests that we are blaming god for all our problems and that while everyone is willing to put all this effort towards pointing fingers and spreading the blame, no one knows what to do.

Take it or leave it, that's my opinion.
