How can you say what was his "primary" reason at the time? Surely, you're not going by public pronouncements? That would mean that Baby Bush really did "regretfully" accept Meier's resignation of the Supreme Court nomination, rather than the truth that she was asked to drop out by the Bush Administration.
Sorry, but I'll believe what Daddy Bush wrote in his book some years later when candor was permitted. |

Out of curiosity, have you read Bush's book or just quotes?

I heard Bill Clinton's book was a pop-up book.

Not about to give Bush my hard earned money..... I am probably below the poverty line and all.... BUt out of curiousity, aren't quotes supposedly straight out of the book, thus fulfilling the definition of a quote??? and since the quotes are out of the book that Bush I wrote, then they would be his words, pretty similar to reading the book, just the readers digest condensed version style..... Or did Bush not say that he did not want to oust Saddam because he knew there would be insurgents and all, and that there was no way to come up with an exit strategy for such an event..... If I am wrong about what Bush I wrote in his book, please, enlighten me with text from his book on the subject.

I have not idea if the quotes are accurate, as I haven't read Bush's book either. I'm sure any quotes presented are accurate. But then so are all the quote on movie posters.
The problem with quotes, particularly if they're shorter, is that they lose their context within a larger statement and nuance. I don't know that what you've seen mischaracterizes or misleads, just that it is more likely if you are only relying on secondary sources. In A World Transformed, Bush's diary entry about why and how they needed to end the Persian Gulf War is presented. Here is the full entry (with some cuts by me for space): Quote:
Quote:
In this book, most of the mentions of "getting bogged down" are descriptions of opposition to the use of any force, that is to not even kick Iraq out of Kuwait. Here is a final quote on how Bush felt about Senator Byrd's concerns: Quote:
I think the quotes are within fair use limits, but if whoever decides such things disagree I can go along with that. |
