Preview

For all eight years of his son’s presidency, former President George Herbert Walker Bush was supportive.

But in a new book about his life in politics, President George Herbert Walker Bush mildly criticizes his son, George Walker Bush.

The elder Bush says he approves of some of his son’s controversial decisions, such as invading Iraq. But sometimes his son used overly “hot rhetoric,” the senior Bush says.

George H.W. Bush mentioned a 2002 speech describing an “axis of evil.” In the speech George W. Bush said Iran, North Korea and Iraq were among the nations that fit the “axis of evil” description.

Tough talk will get you headlines, “but it doesn’t necessarily solve the diplomatic problem,” George H.W. Bush said. His comments came in Jon Meacham’s new book, “Destiny and Power.” George H.W. Bush served as president from 1989 to 1993.
