Even Bush's father, who's patriotic btw, disagreed with Bush on Iraq... Reuters News, October 7, 2006: "A new book, "State of Denial," by journalist Bob Woodward, says former president George Bush was "anguished" over the Iraq war and its aftermath, although the elder Bush has dismissed that account." "Former National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft, who served under the first President Bush and has been critical of the current president's handling of Iraq, was quoted in Woodward's book as describing the elder Bush as in "agony," "anguished" and "tormented" by how the war has played out. But former President Bush, in an interview with the CNN talk show "Larry King Live," dismissed Woodward's account of his views about Iraq as "kind of second hand." He acknowledged concerns about the war, but he said his role was to stay on the sidelines and said he was not anguished."
