Pappy seems to have forgotten his dumb kid was there and supposedly in charge, too.
“Saddam’s gone, and with him went a lot of brutality and nastiness and awfulness,” he said.
and in its place… a lot more brutality and nastiness and awfulness. Oh and now Iran and Iraq are buddies rather than enemies. Heckuva job Bushie.
Ratfuckers ratting out ratfuckers. Who could have imagined?
HW: Dubya was weak and allowed evil Cheney to flourish.
Dubya: No, It was all me, I made all the decisions. All the fuck up and war crimes was just me. Jesus still loves me.
HW: Also, I left Saddam in 1991 for Dubya to clean up. He wasnt evil in 1991 but became evil in the meantime and had to be removed, WMDs or not.
Exactly this. It’s a daisy chain of ratfucking.
These excerpts appear to be pathetic score-settling, leavened with the kind of “end of life candor” usually reserved for the deathbed of those without book deals. You can tell 41’s steamed because of the use of the word “ass.” He remains a true simp and a c*** to the end.
“He never expressed this to me…” HE’S NOW FREE TO SHARE HIS TRUE VIEWS ON THE SUBJECT AFTER YEARS OF REFLECTION, YOU IDIOTS. Any such opinions would have been dismissed out of hand by those criminals if rendered at the time.
It’s a horror story to consider how many lives were lost and treasure squandered for the Bushes to work out their Oedipal issues. While this new book demonstrates that the work is apparently unfinished, thankfully Jebbie is not up to the task of winning the job in order to continue the tragedy.
Dick Cheney is a war criminal. So is 41, the “Dumberer” of the Jeb/Geo Dumb & Dumber twins.
I’d feel sad for that old man staring down the barrel of a what’s going to be a shameful post-mortem history of his criminal dynasty if he didn’t also have blood on his own hands.
just an fyi, the headline is wrong, he said rumsfeld “hurt the president having his iron-ass view of everything” not cheney.
Former President joins the "No Fucks to Give Club" ---
Cheney was not “iron ass” he was stupid. Rash and irresponsible. As for his influence over precious Junior: GW was POTUS He could have said Fuck You Dick…that’s not going to happen" and that would have been it.
JH Christ when does all the whining and blaming stop?
Note how it’s the “presidency” not America ( which suffered the real pain ) Bush is concerned with.
This Bio’s timing couldn’t be better for Jeb! It’ll be nice to have the media once again focus on Miserable Failure and his administration and appointees. Particularly now that he’s relying on him at his campaign stops.
Yeah, “W” was shit-for-brains doormat, and Cheney was a power hungry sociopath. I’m pretty sure us evil liberals had that all figured out from the get-go.
Some vindication in all of this though, in that daddy Bush acknowledges it. I still firmly believe that history is going to see the Cheney/Rove (errr…Bush) administration as one of, if not our worst administrations in our history.
…If we are lucky enough to have a history after those criminals.
Actually, I think Cheney is also a tremendous physical coward and the evidence suggests that he totally panicked and reacted from physical terror after 9/11–before turning it to corporate oligarchs’ greedy advantage.
Pathetic, the whole lot of them.
One flies out of the cuckoos nest!
I think it was all Willie Horton’s fault.
Amen to that. And the last two GOP nominee’s were looking to do the same thing, as if running the nation is some sort of psychiatrist’s couch for them to work out their Daddy issues. McCain has wanted to show his father and grandfather that he was better than just being an Admiral…he wanted to be Commander in Chief. Romney was running to show Daddy that he could WIN the Presidency that Daddy lost, and just to prove how much better he was, he refused to show his taxes…a precedent his father actually started.
Poppy Bush is a “little late to the garden party” (much like McNamara and his “late in life” doubts and conversion on Vietnam) and the nation paid an awful price. He remained silent, for God’s sake!! Elder Bush wants three things: 1. To “get right” with his Maker. 2. Provide political cover for Jeb and the whole family. 3. Market and sell books. Shameful, shameful, shameful!!
