The biggest knock against HW is probably his knowledge of the Iran-Contra affair during the Reagan administration and his subsequent pardons of 5 members of the administration that had been found guilty. The Iran-Contra affair was probably a bigger scandal than Watergate, but people don't really hold Reagan, HW and their administration accountable for it.


We were balls deep with South American death squads before this.

And Regan would have been balls deep in treason charges if Ollie North hadn't taken the fall

that's one way of putting it, but you don't even have to swear, the simple truth is much worse anyway: war criminal and child killer.

What about the way he handled the end of the cold war - a phase of great instability during which a lot could have gone horribly wrong, but turned out as best as one could have hoped in the end - in no small part due to the prudent leadership of Bush 41, who was the right man at the right time in the right place?


indeed and as germans we have a lot to thank him for
he was the guy, who supported our reunification and managed to get the approval of the remaining powers

Nice little dodge, but I'm talking about you and that Jeremy Scahill journalist twat. You're both insufferable cunts.

Calling Bush Senior things like a warmonger and child killer just shows how fucked up and politically driven some people are. By that same logic, FDR and Abraham Lincoln were warmongers and child killers. I guess Bush Senior and the Coalition should've just left Kuwait to defend themselves against an aggressor who proved their willingness to use WMD.

Go back to your circle-jerking echo chamber at the HuffPo or WaPo. Report me for flaming if you like, I've gone years without posting here. But god damn you are one monumental piece of shit of the first order.
