WASHINGTON (Reuters) â Former President George H.W. Bush takes some unexpected swipes at Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, key members of his sonâs administration, over their reaction to the Sept. 11 attacks, in a new biography of the 41st president, Fox News reported on Wednesday.
In âDestiny and Power: The American Odyssey Of George Herbert Walker Bush,â author Jon Meacham quotes Bush as saying that Cheney and Rumsfeld were too hawkish and that their harsh stance damaged the reputation of the United States, the cable news network said.

Ever since he stuck a knife in the backs of gun owners right when we needed help, I have despised Bush and his entire family.
He’s right about Cheney and Rummy. There’s one guy he didn’t mention, though. Middle initial of W
Oh Lord, it sounds like he’s turning into Jimmy Carter.

H.W. clearly battled dementia and senility .
U.S. Grant faced the same problem. They waited too long
to write their memoirs . Advanced age is not a friend clear recall and iteration

Does dad know that the pres has the final say or is he so for into dementia (like during his four years in office) that he forgot.

There comes a time in everyone’s life that you have to realize how old your getting, and you don’t keep up with things as much and your not all together, all together...
I think that is where the Bushes are right now...starting with Father to the son who is trying to run for Pres....
“You can look like a fool, but when you open your mouth, you remove all doubt”
I thought loyalty to friends was the Bush family’s highest value.
Who cares! Memo to Gw—— Try to attack the country that attacked us ,dumb ass!!YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA’S ELECTION.and Your brother SUCKS!! GO TRUMP!!
His unerring belief in “The Mole”, allowed him to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory..
What else would you expect? He always back handed Reagan as well
I give him credit for writing a book at his age and health. That is pretty impressive regardless of subject.
