GWB: —>defense of “American sovereignty,” and his willingness to put America’s interests ahead of any need for international consensus.<—

Total BS, just like Ted Cruz and most of the rest. It’s just campaign rhetoric and what we should refer to as ‘conservative speak.’ It’s a completely meaningless stream of words that they intend to do absolutely nothing about.

But it still sells, and he fooled many on this website with the double speak.

Belated reply: My point was not what Bush might or might not have really thought, but what the international left thought about him - and they hated him, thinking he was a threat to their plans. My point was to highlight the agenda of the international left, not to defend Bush. Nor was my purpose to criticize Bush. Bush - pro or con - was not my point.
