SAN ANTONIO, Texas (March 30) - An emotional former President George H.W. Bush on Tuesday defended his son's Iraq war and lashed out at White House critics.

"It hurts an awful lot more when it's your son that is being criticized than when they used to get all over my case," said Bush, who has often complained about media coverage of both Bush presidencies.

The former president, who waged the first Gulf War against Saddam in 1991, described progress in Iraq as "a miracle."

1. Compare that with this...

Excerpt from "Why We Didn't Remove Saddam" by George Bush and Brent Scowcroft, Time (2 March 1998):
"Had we gone the invasion route, the U.S. could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land. It would have been a dramatically different--and perhaps barren--outcome."

2. I would think it would hurt a lot more to have your son or daugther

or husband or wife dead or permanently injured because some dolt lies. And the "miracle" has to be pulling this off without getting impeached. Poor baby. Life it really rough at the upper tax brackets isn't it?

Since when did the GOPhers become such cry babies? Bitching and moaning about intellectuals on the campaign trail criticizing his baby??? Why not have some intellectuals in the WH for a change; or better yet, a pResdient that is such a ignorant arrogant a-hole?

6. Nothing new-he used to complain about "Class Warfare"

to attack critics of his policies benefiting the super rich.
