So is George W. Bush's dad an idiot but honest too? What do you think of George Bush Sr.? He had quite a bit to say just a few years ago on what a bad idea it would have been to go after Saddam Hussein, and what mess we'd get ourselves into after trying. Seems he was dead nuts on.You are taking facts out of context.

G Bush Sr., was in Iraq under a UN mandate.... to liberate Kuwait. Bush Sr. was correct then, to not remove Sadam, and extend the war beyond that which was established and authorized by the UN. Personally, I wish he had done that, but it does not change the argument that President Bush Sr. did the right thing then. It was not his charter, nor was America threatened by terrorism directly connected to Iraq.
How am I taking facts out of context? Bush Sr. said it would be a mistake to take out Saddam Hussein. He wasn't talking about not having had a U.N. mandate. He said it would destabilize the region.
Oh did you hear about how he's giving Ted Kennedy his public service award next month? It was announced the same week Ted Kennedy accused the Bush administration of telling lies to get us to go to war with Iraq. He gutted the Bush administration on numerous issues.Kennedy is a gas-bag that was winded when he continued with his mouth engaged without a brain. He was asked to establish credibility to his claims, and to this day he has not. Ever wonder why?
Clearly George Bush Sr. is trying to send Jr. a message without making a huge public stink about it.Believe what you want. Never regard the facts, it may confuse the rest of us. Continue hypothesizing more intrigue, it's what clueless Liberals do best.
Nonsense. In the face of the world news media. In the face of the facts of what has happened in Iraq, in the face of Congress, you still cling to this idiotic notion that the President "lied". The President has never lied about anything on any of his policies, statements, or actions. You are right in only one thing..... your bias is anti-Bush based.
Now this President Bush believes that the dynamics of terrorism as a direct threat against the US has changed, and does include Iraq as a key component. I do not wish to get back into another hypothetical argument about what he knew, and if he lied, as none of anything I have ever heard in any of the mainstream media supports this. I will have to trust that you have other insight that leads you to that conclusion (beyond simple anti-Bush bias).
I have a factually based anti-Bush bias. And his father's opinions on the subject I happen to have agreed with before George W. Bush was even on the national political scene.
