It bears repeating that Bush I was a foreign policy "expert". He had been ambassador to China and head of the CIA. His major expertise was in foreign policy.

Yes Walt. And practically everybody out there save a few left wing wackos and YOU believes that foreign policy was the strength of the Bush administration.

There was a big expansion under Reagan (another guy shot full of luck), it was only natural that there be a slow down.

Not really. Methinks it had more to do with a combination of the capital gains rollback two sessions earlier, the failure to abide by Gramm-Rudman, and various economic price factors elsewhere. Either way it was a very mild recession that was long over before Bill Clinton came along. Clinton simply pretended it was still there a year after the fact and lied his way into office on the false claim that it was.

Well, gag a maggot.

What were some of the Bush administration foreign policy triumphs?

Maybe you mean compared to his domestic policy, which was a dismal failure in comparison?

Walt
