soley to make him wounded heading into the upcoming election and he was quite successful george herbert walker bush was the election because he was up against bill clinton probably wasn't really a longer election it was that someone decided. to our entire parody what they fired to destroy him was a baby it is they use the power of the senate to be able to manipulate we didn't have a mess in b.c. at the time had we had it they would have used it we didn't have all of the other liberal organs that we had them but they used them but then when president bush the second came into office we saw this and it was way more venomous then i don't. know it's you're absolutely wrong i see exact opposite the democrats were opposed to medicare part. at absolute zero and. that was not flawless see that was true. to the library law i don't know about bush lied about whether there were weapons of mass casualty that's bush that was his secretary of state only other it was actually mr obama who said if you like your policy you can keep it but it's mr obama who when was it going back to your ambition and then what is th

george herbert walker bush was u.n. ambassador trying to save taiwan at the same time kissinger was in china. there have been complaints about that. he will say he didn't tell the secretary of state either. he certainly wouldn't tell the ambassador. i do think to my mind the most tired analogy is munich and you see this on the right. this is the next munich. the new munich. there was a munich. when you play that card, i think you really have to have a bit more behind it than you do here. >> germany was second richest country in the world. iran's gdp is the size of the pentagon's budget. what do you think? >> there are no historical analogies than comparing munich or nixon and china from which we have generation of perspective to a deal that's hours, days old. this could prove to be a turning point as obviously the president would like to argue that it's long overdue reset of a relationship. it could also fall apart. this is why everyone is making the point. this is a test. even obama is using the term. this is a test. l

george herbert walker bush said how meaningful it was immediately declaring how important it was forwith american presidents was in the cold war context where he was viewed as part of the [ inaudible ] regime. that is why ronald reagan not seeing the bigger picture. even went up against then secretary of state and against republican leaders who finally led the way to override his veto in length at the congressional caucus at the end of the movement in the united states. interactions of american presidents was so fascinating. it was bush 41 and then importantly jimmy carter here as a member of the elders. as we see now more arrivals. >> i can't help but notice we go to occasional shots. this is south african broadcasting company which we refer to as host tv in events like this. they are in charge of filming the events in the stadium. the pictures and picture selection are up to them. and we are -- we will narrate as we can. we see a shot of tony blair who is as of now kind of sitting off and alone in the rear of the vip area. he has been going through some trouble right now, potential

. >> what about george herbert walker bush? >> i did not agree with the persian gulf war. the 49 provinces of iraq, which was created by the british foreign office in 1919 anyway. whether kuwait is part of it or not. caring about the emirate of kuwait. it was just a nasty dictatorship of saddam hussein. so we should not have been in it, and i gave him a bad mark for building up the welfare state and creating the monsters of cheney and all the rest of it that came the next time around. on the other hand, he did try to balance the budget, and even though he said he was not going to, and i give him credit for that, and he is not on either list. ronald reagan, i think he massively made mistakes on defense. the defense budget was not just a waste of money in those eight years, it was what created the war machine that created so much havoc in the world and created so much anger and problems throughout the world that were totally unnecessary. the hubris that imperial power. that was a real negative. on the other hand, he did stand up for limiting the state. big government, the st

i think as george herbert walker bush's health becomes more frail, people remember what a good guy he was. youngest navy pilot of his generation, a member of the greatest generation. and i think communism is going to be issues with it. there's only going to be issues with it. people are going to ask should we have three of the same them in the white house. but i tend to think that the contrast, the compare and contrast between jeb and his brother, and his father to a lesser extent, but actually benefit jeb. a lot of people don't know jeb bush, and so when you hear jeb bush, his level of thoughtfulness, of intellect, of substance, seriousness, people tend to be quite impress. i was with him last night, and i think he won the elderly jewish republican vote in the upper east side of manhattan. i also think, i think, yeah, i think there's a path. i see a path for a jeb or christy and i agree with governor walker daddy governor is a much better candidate than a senator or somebody from congress, even though i'm a paul ryan fin. but the stench of dysfunction and obstructionism that emanates

george herbert walker and george w.? >> well, curiosity. i don't think either of them have a lot of intellectual curiosity in the sense of trying to find out things outside their orbit. the advantage president bush the father had. he had vast experience in a lot of things. he had been a businessman, an oilman, ongoing china. he was director of central intelligence. he had been the head of the republican national committee. a member of congress from texas. he a lot of varying experiences. and he used that to a good extent. he didn't -- learn a lot in addition when he was president. as i said president ken did that. president bush the father did. if anything the son was less willing to learn about things. there's always this discussion president bush the son. was he frankly too stupid to be president. you have heard all of this argument. i never felt that way. i think he was perfectly had perfect brain power to be president. he didn't have the intellectual curiosity. if he didn't need to learn about something, he wasn't going learn it. he did learn about the middle east and terrorism. he learned about the economy. but there are vast areas he wasn't interested in. he didn't feel like he needed to l
