You wish the liberal media would have shown 1/10th the respect for George H.W. Bush in life as it is doing now that he has died. Morning Joe exemplified that this morning, as Joe, Mika and Jon Meacham each offered emotional tributes to the 41st President—while making invidious comparisons with the current occupant of the Oval Office.
But emotion aside, there was one interesting fact that emerged. Joe Scarborough revealed, and Mika Brzezinski confirmed, that Mika's father, the late Zbigniew Brzezinski, national security adviser to Jimmy Carter, voted for George H.W. Bush. And that was the one and only time Brzezinski voted for a Republican presidential candidate.
Scarborough explained that what inspired Zbig was the kind of leadership and discipline that H.W. demonstrated in deciding not to continue on to Baghdad after the successful expulsion of Iraqi forces from Kuwait in Operation Desert Storm.

I’m guessing some FReepers will reply along the lines: “makes sense, since H.W. was a RINO.”
But Scarborough says Zbig respected H.W. because of the restraint he showed in not continuing on to Baghdad after defeating Saddam in Kuwait. In retrospect, that was a wise decision.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Will mika disavow any relationship with him? Oh, wait.....
No surprise, GHW Bush was committed to the New World Order.
Subsuming the US to the UN has been a goal for decades.
Scarborough says Zbig respected H.W. because of the restraint he showed in not continuing on to Baghdad after defeating Saddam in Kuwait. In retrospect, that was a wise decision.
Remember that liberal Maryland governor Donald Schaefer not only voted for Bush, he endorsed him. Some old-line liberals were sick of the direction that their party was going with Clinton.
mika and joe are looking more and more like cartoon characters.
No, it wasn’t.
It necessitated 10 years of no fly zones and going back ten years later to finish the job with less than 1/2 of what we had there at the time to finish the job properly.
I think we’re worse off today than before in Iraq. Not only did we lose thousands of American lives and trillions of dollars, but the country is less stable than it was, and is subject to domination by Iran.
I agree.
It would have turned out much differently when we had twice the number of troops to properly occupy the country and set up a government to replace Saddam.
Didn’t Bush 41 vote for hitlery too?
The RINOS and never Trumpers liked him. The left prefers his type to conservatives, just as some of us would have preferred Bill Clinton when Obama was running amok.
I don’t think it works to “set up a government” in Middle Eastern countries. As bad as Saddam might have been, he really was only interested in stealing billions and holding on to power. We would have been better leaving him in place.
Yeah, and GHW Bush voted for Hillary Clinton. Color me... who cares?
...Mika's father, the late Zbigniew Brzezinski...
...is no longer around to ask him to verify this. IOW< she could just be lying, as she often does.
