I told my children when they were growing up, start with George Bush.

And as long as someone else's children serve and get blown to pieces in an unending war, then everything is fine.

He's speaking of George H. W. Bush, not his son. Bush 41 had the wisdom to smash our enemy and leave, rather than occupy him in a never ending war. I served under both, and am thankful for the wisdom of the elder Bush. I suspect fighting in a war and losing so many friends influenced him significantly. If only GW had learned the lessons of his father.

True.

Bush’s intervention in the Middle East is destroying America’s finances 30 years later.

We are in a quagmire in the Middle East.
