George 43 never learned to read.

This says it all...



In his memoirs, "A World Transformed," written more
than five years ago, George Bush, Sr. wrote the following to explain why
he didn't go after Saddam Hussein at the end of the Gulf War.

"Trying to eliminate Saddam...would have incurred
incalculable human and political costs. Apprehending him was probably
impossible.... We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in
effect, rule Iraq.... there was no viable "exit strategy" we could see,
violating another of our principles. Furthermore, we had been
self-consciously trying to set a pattern for handling aggression in the
post-Cold
War world. Going in and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the
United Nations' mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of
international response to aggression that we hoped to establish. now Had
we
gone the invasion route, the United States could conceivably still be
an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land."

If only his son could read.
