Some people are still asking the question “What would Bush - either one - have done?” , and judging right or wrong from there. It does work, sort of, if you just follow the opposite path.
Interesting analysis— and dovetails with my “bolton is a bushie” (and more recently a romneybot, along with Liz Cheney).
Bush in office— we’d be on our way to Gulf War III of the Orwellian perpetual war.
What would either Bush do? Then do exact opposite.
The revolt against the mullahs, a real one depends on this- not a sellout that exposes them, like Bush I did to the Kurds to his absolute shame. As bad as piss poor response to Tianamen Square protests (zero help).
