George Herbert Walker Bush was a better statesman and strategist than his sons will ever be. He was the one who put the no-fly zone in place that kept Saddam in line for years. Clinton enforced it just the way Bush I set it up. It was Dubya who decided he could do better.

I've heard Jeb is the smarter of the Bush sprouts. He'll be in town to speak on Friday, but I'm not planning to attend.
