Leadership and Character

I have more than a few issues with George W Bush's administration but his leadership in the War on Terror was excellent. And he makes no apologies for it...

Bush: I'd waterboard KSM again

Former President George W. Bush said Wednesday that he has no regrets about waterboarding Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, saying that, if presented with the same opportunity, he’d “do it again.” ...

“Yeah, we waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,” Bush said. “I'd do it again to save lives.”...

Bush also defended his decision to invade Iraq during the speech, despite the fact that weapons of mass destruction were never found.

“Getting rid of Saddam Hussein was the right thing to do, and the world is a better place without him,” the former president said.

While Bush defended his administration during the speech, he declined to criticize President Barack Obama when asked about his replacement during a question and answer session.

“You are not going to see me in the public square criticizing the president,” Bush said.

Bush was not afraid to make a decision and stand behind them. And unlike his successor (who never misses an opportunity to take a pot shot at Bush, something president's used to not do) Bush has refused to comment on B Hussein Obama, and there is plenty of criticize there. Shows the difference in character and class of both men.
