Bush 43, Bush 41, Watergate, Iraq ... Like Father Like Son
"Should any puzzlement exist regarding GWBush’s handling of the Iraq war, one can turn to history for elucidation. Bush 43 is handling Iraq exactly the way his father handled Watergate: deny and stonewall as long as possible; muddy the issues with bogus counter-accusations; exploit the situation for whatever is exploitable in it; position oneself for future advantage; then cut bait. Few people today remember that George H. W. Bush, way back before being CIA director and after being Nixon’s Ambassador to the U.N., was head of the Republican National Committee in the early '70s while Watergate was unspooling. His son apparently absorbed some lessons from the times."
