Dubya's Dilemma: Daddy Doesn't Support the Iraq War

Capitol Hill Blue - but a good column. I do think 41 thinks 43 screwed up Big Time.

The Iraqi war that has so divided Americans is also causing a rift in the family of President George W. Bush.

The President’s father, George H.W. Bush – 41st President of the United States – disagrees with his son’s decisions in the invasion and occupation of Iraq, which is why the former President has not commented in public on the war.

“The President and I discuss the war privately,” the elder Bush said in an interview earlier this year. “That is the way it will remain.”

But sources close to the Bush family say the elder Bush thinks his son has mishandled the war in Iraq.

“They disagree on the war,” says a family confidante. “Former President Bush believes the U.S. should have sought more support before invading Iraq and feels his son did not work hard enough to secure the support of allies.”

was a slap in the face to his father. No coalition, no UN, no Powell Doctrine, no giving inspectors a chance. It's Oedipal as hell. Scarey
