[QUOTE="steelfingers, post: 3179070, member: 38658"] Well put. I remember him talking to a reporter when the newsman brought up his service and being shot down not once but twice. Bush senior was never a spotlight guy. He laughed and said "Some people think I was a very lucky man. They never considered that I might have been just a bad pilot". He was not a bad pilot. He never rode on his war record. In time, he may eclipse all former presidents for his ability to lead the country. He received unwarranted criticism on not going on to Iraq after liberating Kuwait. No one pays attention to the fact it was against the UN resolution. He also knew the occupation of Iraq would have been an American stand alone deal. We were not prepared to fill the leadership vacuum that would occur. He knew the tribal sects would be settling old scores and wanting to assume power. He also knew the Islamic state could fill that vacuum. Which it did. He thought past his nose and his own mortality. He will be missed. Thank you Mr. President, for your service to the Nation.
