Also, as to my (2) above, it was outrageous when Jr. didn't consult with the former President or his advisors before going into Iraq. Bush Sr. says he was never consulted. Bush Sr. and his people had been through this before, it was crazy for Bush Jr. to not make any use of that experience or knowledge.
Bush Sr.'s response when asked if he was consulted or ever gave advice to Jr. about going into Iraq was equally outrageous. He basically said no, he wasn't asked, but if he was, he would have advised against it (for the VERY reasons everyone now sees so obviously).
When asked why he didn't just call Jr. up and tell him, his answer was basically "The boy's gotta learn on his own."
C'mon! That's what you say when your 8 year old is about to ride his bike down a hill that is too big for him and wipe out. It's not a good answer when your boy is about to blow up the world.
