Texas Republican George P. Bush has declared 2019 the “Year of Education” at the General Land Office, and he’s using that banner to travel around the state to stress how important it is to hit the books.
It’s a lesson he freely admits he didn’t always apply himself.
The heir to the Bush dynasty was on the road to flunking out at Rice University in Houston after two years. He might have been born into politics, but he failed a political science class called “Public Opinion, Polling & The Media.” Right before that he got a C-minus in “Congress” — the branch of government where his grandfather and great-grandfather (the P in his name is for Prescott) once served.

Those were lightweight classes. I wonder what grade he would have received in differential equations.
According to the article I just read, that was only the first two years. He straightened up after that and averaged no less than a 3.7.......
Revisionist antibushers forget one thing.
President George W Bush will be remembered as a conqueror of Baghdad.
Almost no others can claim that victory
Iran thanks Bush for getting rid of their biggest opponent in the region.
And what real US interest was served? If SH’s still ruled Iraq what difference would it make to America?
Loyalty is to their class.
That is bullshit
Ain’t but one bush I ever cottoned to...
It's rumored he plans to run for Texas State Attorney General.

Many of us have known people like that. Not stupid. Just not motivated or applying themselves and then suddenly something changes and they turn things around.
interest was Kuwait, the Gulf, Saudi Arabia. We protect our Arab gulf allies. To protect our interests in the region.
The fact you can’t see the need is based on isolationist ignorance
The war W fought was the one started by Saddam and continued for 10 years.
Some confuse Islam with Arabs. You must learn the difference
DO NOT USE ABUSE ON THIS FORUM

There’s the Neocon party line. Max Boot couldn’t have said it better.
There was zero military necessity to occupy Iraq.
The democracy project gang at the Project for a New American Century believed that we could transform the Middle East at will. And Dubya being the fool that he is believed it.
Just decapitate their governments and install a veneer of American democracy. Proposition Nation stupidity at its finest.
PNAC ended up staffing the Dubya administration. No surprise there.
Yeah, I couldn’t believe it but there it is in his Wiki bio.
