Former President George W. Bush is releasing a new book early next year featuring portraits he painted of nearly 100 veterans who were wounded during his tenure as commander in chief.

Bush wrote on Facebook that he's spent several months painting the portraits of 98 wounded warriors "who were injured carrying out my orders."

If W would give the proceeds of the book to the 98 men he painted - that would go towards my forgiving him for some of the bonehead things he did. If not for 9/11 there is no doubt that he would have pushed through some kind of amnesty plan.

I will never forget W being in charge after 9/11. He was awesome then. He has been a disappointment since then in many ways, especially in his not endorsing Donald Trump.

There is no perfect human being on the planet. No perfect mortal human ever born or who ever will be born who is perfect. Yes, GWB has done things with which I disagree, but he has been truly magnificent in his support for wounded veterans. As a veteran myself (Navy), I thank and applaud him for what he does for veterans.

Our Republican Women’s club has donated several books to local libraries featuring George W. It is too bad he and his family tarnished the Bush legacy by their self-serving actions during the 2016 election.

YEAH IT WAS AWESOME COVERING FOR THE SAUDS AND SIGNING DEATH WARRANTS FOR 5000 MEN in IRAQ!!!

It was GREAT not letting those 19 pages which implicated the Sauds get out.

He’s a leftist, globalist piece of #### like his father.

I am really shocked, after KNOWING he did not vote for Trump, how ANYONE here could still like him at all!!!!

We got suckered. 19, was that the number of the hijackers who were saudi?

The missing pages point absolutely to saudi financing, and Bush lets them out of the country, holds hands with the saudi king or whomever in a picture, and attacks the World Threatening Iraq!!!

Boy were we lucky to have him.

You guys enjoy putting money in the sauds’ pockets every time you buy gas? Is that Bush’s legacy to the 3000 people they murdered?

Bush REDUCED border and interior enforcement AFTER 9/11.
That is unforgivable in my book.
I will never buy his book.

Bush ran and hid on 9-11.
Giuliani was defacto President.

When Bush crawled out from hiding, it was to cover for his Saudi besties.

I agree that what the Bush family did leading up to this election was awful. But, as a veteran myself, I am able to applaud what GWB does for vets while also being disgusted by his and his family’s lack of support for Donald Trump once he became the Republican nominee.
