A new book on the Bush political dynasty claims former President George H.W. Bush opposed last year's invasion of Iraq. In "The Bushes: Portrait of a Dynasty," Peter and Rochelle Schweizer cite as evidence a summer 2002 interview in which the older Bush's sister said her brother had expressed his "anguish" about the administration's preparations for war.
"But do they have an exit strategy?" the former President is quoted as worrying.
"Although he never went public with them," the authors assert, "the President's own father shared many of [the] concerns" of Brent Scowcroft, his national security adviser and a leading war opponent.
Top Bush aide Jean Becker denied the allegations yesterday.

Aha - if true, this is another liberal canard shattered. After all, one of the main dem talking points is that Dubya went to war in Iraq to avenge his dad. If dad was against the war, this argument is immeasurably weakened.

"But do they have an exit strategy?" the former President is quoted as worrying. Um, we were already there. Finishing the 12 year war was an exit strategy of sorts.
More lefties confusing and defining the war per Kerry Kamp orders.
