george W Bush is the President of this country not GHWB Juniors agenda was such a radical deprture from his father's that they didn't want to be seen as interfering. George HW Bush had the good sense not to invade Iraq further than they needed to kick the Iraqis out of Kuwait. I didn't understand that decision at the time but now see it as the smartest thing GHWB ever did. He, Schwartzkopf and Powell knew what was gong to happen if they did --remember Powell's line about the Pottery Barn rule? I remember the buzz at the time about GHWB counseling Junior not to do it, his aides also, and junior proceeding right ahead with his own (Cheney's) agenda. The arrogance here is spectacular. NOt only did Junior and Cheney shove all of Clinton's good advice aside, they ignored Dad's advice as well. And now we're in a disaaster, the magnitude of which is earthshaking. Junior can't say he wasn't warned against it by people in the know--even his own Sec of State, Powell advised against it (the only combat vet in the Cabinet) But they went ahead with it anyway, even fabricating and/or cherrypicking the evidence to get in. This is George W Bush's War, first last and only. he shoved aside all good advice and recklessly plunged the American People into another no-win, endless war. Impeachment is too good for the smug, arrogant, know-it-all,sonofabitch, he should be draggged out into the street and have his ass kicked all the way down Pennsylvania Avenue
