'According to the New York Times, former President George H.W. Bush is finally telling the world what he thought of his son’s two most infamous advisers. In a soon-to-be-released biography, the elder Bush says Dick Cheney built “his own empire” and asserted too much “hard-line” influence in his son’s White House in pushing for the use of force around the world. And Don Rumsfeld was an “arrogant fellow” who could not see how others thought and “served the president badly.” The elder Bush also criticizes his son for empowering Cheney and Rumsfeld in the first place, and for using bellicose language such as “axis of evil.”
Well, it’s nice to know George H.W. saw his son’s White House the same way most of the rest of the world saw it. The question is, when will Cheney, Rumsfeld, and George W. be held accountable for the havoc they wrought? And what about the Neocons who surrounded them -- many of whom are still asserting influence in Republican circles, even inside the campaign of the elder Bush’s other son?'
