“HW’s biggest fault was in believing the Donks were patriots, instead of the partisan socialist liars they were.The the future, especially since the advent of Obama, such naivete in a president is a luxury we can no longer afford.”
I would have to disagree that George H.W. Bush was a naive man.
The following words are those of a man of purpose, who fully knows what he intends to accomplish.
From President George H.W. Bush’s New World Order Speech.
“A new partnership of nations has begun, and we stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment! The crisis in the Persian Gulf, as grave as it is, also offers a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation! Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective—a new world order—can emerge: A new era—freer from the threat of terror, stronger in the pursuit of justice and more secure in the quest for peace. An era in which the nations of the world, east and west, north and south, can prosper and live in harmony.
A hundred generations have searched for this elusive path to peace, while a thousand wars raged across the span of human endeavor, and today that new world is struggling to be born. A world quite different from the one we’ve known. A world where the rule of law supplants the rule of the jungle. A world in which nations recognize the shared responsibility for freedom and justice. A world where the strong respect the rights of the weak.
This is the vision that I shared with President Gorbachev in Helsinki! He and the other leaders from Europe, the gulf and around the world understand that how we manage this crisis today could shape the future for generations to come!”

Oh really????
You post goes a long way to illustrate his naivete.

The other possible theory is that he knew and didn't care. Is that the theory you prefer?
