BUSH GHOST WRITER SHOWS TRUTH ABOUT FATHER AND SON

Mickey Herskowitz - a ghost writer for both George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush - has revealed startling information about both men, which he learned from extensive candid conversations with the 41st and the 43rd presidents. Herskowitz revealed the information in a series of interviews with investigative reporter Russ Baker, which Baker tape recorded.<1>

Baker's article reveals that "in 2003, Bush's father indicated to that he disagreed with his son's invasion of Iraq."<2>

George W. Bush was reluctant to talk to Herskowitz about his National Guard service. But Bush did tell him "that after transferring from his Texas Guard unit two-thirds through his six-year military obligation to work on an Alabama political campaign, he did not attend any Alabama National Guard drills at all, because he was 'excused.'"<3> Bush's comments to Herskowitz "directly contradicts his public statements that he participated in obligatory training with the Alabama National Guard."<4>

According to Herskowitz, "two years before the September 11 attacks, presidential candidate George W. Bush was already talking privately about attacking Iraq."<5> In 1999, Bush said to Herskowitz, "My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it. If I have a chance to invade.... if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it. I'm going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I'm going to have a successful presidency."<6>

I knew he had always wanted to attack Iraq. Bush really is a murderer. He killed those people on 9/11, he killed everyone who has died in Iraq, American or Iraqi, military or civilian. He has absolutely no regard for how his actions affect others. Sickening.

2. If your thread title was "Ghostwriter for Poppy and Dubya Tells All,"

or something descriptive of the topic, people would pay more attention.

When I see a title like "Have you heard this?" or "OMG, I can't believe it," I am very, very tempted to skip it, based on past experience.

Which would have been a shame in this case, since your post is much more interesting than the title suggests!


Welcome to DU! :hi:
