George Bush Sr. thinks his son Jeb Bush would be a good president
George H.W. Bush—that's Bush 41, not Bush 43—wants to see his second son in the White House one day.
Bush senior, who was president from 1989 to 1993, told Fox News today that he thinks Jeb Bush could be president or a senator. Jeb Bush’s grandfather, Prescott Bush, was a senator from Connecticut.
Many consider Jeb Bush, a former two-term governor of Florida, more intellectually gifted than his older brother George, who leaves office this month.
That’s not such a good thing when you consider that Jeb Bush was one of the 25 original signatories to the Project for a New American Century along with U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, former U.S. defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld, former U.S. deputy secretary of defense Paul Wolfowitz, and Weekly Standard editor William Kristol.
In other words, Jeb Bush sees the world in a similar light as the dreaded neocons who promoted and launched the war in Iraq.
In 1998, PNAC wrote a letter to then-president Bill Clinton, then-Senate majority leader Trent Lott, and then-House speaker Newt Gingrich calling for a harder line on Iraq.
This was long before 9/11 and Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's alleged-but-unproven links to al-Qaueda and alleged-but-unproven weapons of mass destruction were ever cited as justifications for the invasion.
