Interesting comments about the Bushes. Any source for that? Because the old man would not put up with that sh!t from his son.
I never heard that story.
It was in a 2005 book by NYT reporter James Risen, the same reporter spied on by the Obama regime.
In 2003, “George Herbert Walker Bush was disturbed that his son was allowing Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and a cadre of neoconservative ideologues to exert broad influence over foreign policy.”
Bush Sr. was perturbed because Bush Jr. was ignoring Colin Powell’s advice. At that time, Colin Powell was against taking out Saddam Hussein because Saddam was the one man so feared by the factions that he was able to keep them in tow and avert chaos. In the first war, Bush Sr. wisely stopped short of taking out Saddam out for this reason.
In that conversation, George W. Bush “angrily hung up the telephone on his father.”
“There never was a formal meeting of all the president’s senior advisors to debate and decide whether to invade Iraq, according to a senior administration source. And the most fateful decision of the post invasion period — the move by proconsul L. Paul Bremer to disband the Iraqi army — may have been made without President Bush’s advance knowledge, according to a senior White House source.”
Risen says the decision “almost certainly coordinated with Rumsfeld,” and contradicted recommendations by an interagency group chaired by the National Security Council.
