As an ex-president, George H.W. Bush has generally maintained a respectful silence regarding later administrations. But now he's speaking out, criticizing some big names, and not in ways you might expect.
As revealed in the new Jon Meacham biography, "Destiny And Power: The American Odyssey Of George Herbert Walker Bush," the 41st president has some harsh words for the actions of his son's administration.
In particular, he objects to how Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld reacted to 9/11. He feels they were too hawkish, taking a harsh, inflexible stance that tarnished America's reputation around the world.
"I don't know, he just became very hard-line and very different from the Dick Cheney I knew and worked with," Bush told Meacham. "The reaction [to 9/11], what to do about the Middle East. Just iron-ass. His seeming knuckling under to the real hard-charging guys who want to fight about everything, use force to get our way in the Middle East ..."

Wow...they are evil. Stay out of the bushes.
There is not a person I despise more than George HW Bush(pure Douche).
It was a matter of time before the Bushes threw Cheney et al under the bus.
Every day that goes by this family reveals more of its true nature.
If I am blessed to live as long as he, I hope I will have more understanding of the work of those after me who kept the country safe.

“There is not a person I despise more than George HW Bush(pure Douche).”
I have one. Soros. That’s it.
This might be the original Texas Chainsaw family. Developing....
....too bad these guys don’t spend their time attacking Demon Rats.
I still get snail mail from Dubya and Laura asking for library money.
Riiiiight.
He described Reagan's attempts to lower federal marginal tax rates from their then level of over 70% as “voodoo economics”. I always felt Bush and his people were behind the many anonymous internal attacks on the Reagan Administration. And when Bush was elected president in 1988, due entirely to Reagan, he referred to Reagan condescendingly as a “decent man”.
The Boosh spin machine gets into high gear! The old fuddy duddy should keep his pie hole shut!
The Wimp Factor reemerges.
“Dear Dick Cheney:
“Just a note to thank you for pushing for the invasion of Iraq. You took out Saddam Hussein, our No. 1 enemy in the world, and replaced him with a new Iraq government made up of our Shiite friends. Also, you weakened your own country - which we call the Great Satan - by increasing your debt a couple of trillion dollars. And your Iraq War made the Republicans so unpopular that Obama was elected.
“George HW Bush may be mad at you for helping W to create such a mess, but we’re very grateful!
“Thank you, thank you, thank you
“Your friend,
Iran”
“And when Bush was elected president in 1988, due entirely to Reagan, he referred to Reagan condescendingly as a “decent manâ€. “
The Booshes are strangers to “decency.” GHWSOB was the worst decision Ronald Reagan made, but I am betting he was forced to take him as his VP by the GOPe at the time.
GW would have been left with his training wheel tricycle if it hadn’t been for Cheney on his team.
He probably would have called in Warren Christopher et al...
Gee....did he forget the fact that his son was the one in charge?
They’re from Massachusetts.
41 was right to leave Saddam in charge. Look at what happened after 43 took Saddam out in Iraq.
But only one person bears responsibility. The buck stops with W.
The Bush family?
