The media won't tell you this; in fact, they'll do everything they can to misrepresent it, but President Bush is very popular and quite admired in Iraq.
I’m so glad to hear that! I figured you’d know, since you’ve been over there a lot. I’d read where some Iraqi general recently said that they should build a statue of GWB in Iraq. He said a man like Bush came around every 300 years or so! I can’t remember who the general’s was, or the exact quote. But it was very admiring!
But yes, there was a lot of good-will for him there, for what I’ve read from various sources! It’s much like the feeling of many in Kuwait toward his Dad, and in Eastern Europe toward R.Reagan, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr.!
Hi, Allegra! Thanks for your comment about Iraq.
Does anyone really think Bush tried to keep Clinton from being greeted in India? He spent 8 years putting up with Clinton, Carter, and Gore sniping at him from the sidelines, and he patiently watched as these three and other democrat apparatchiks tooled around the wold, sowing discord wherever they could. Remember John Kerry in Western Europe? Remember Obama in the Middle East?
It is patently ridiculous to think that the Bush administration ignored all of these yahoos yet worked mightily to keep Hillary from visiting India.
Either Hillary is making up tales again, or someone in the administration is leaking faux excuses in order to justify their own whining.
