The news media jumped on the story of a new book about former President George H. W. Bush and what he thought about two top members of his son's administration, V.P. Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. The book alleges that the elder Bush used the words iron ass, hawkish, arrogant and etc., to describe Cheney and Rumsfeld. That Cheney had his own empire and that neither served President George W. Bush well. As a result "W", Jeb, Cheney and Rumsfeld all came back with their rebuttal.
The news media tried to make the story some thing it was not. In fact it was a non news story because the people and the country was exposed too and lived through the lies of President George W. Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld. The real story is why did the elder Bush wait so long to express his anger. Maybe, just maybe he could have prevented an unnecessary war in Iraq over WMD that did not exist had he spoken up at the time. The fact is "W" was arrogant also but no father would ever say that about his son.
When the book comes out about the elder Bush for the public to read the people will be able to judge for themselves if the former President's words were meant to rewrite the history of his son's administration.
