He was doing good until he held up Reagan as an example to be emulated, lest we forget his Mideast screw-ups. IMO, Bush 41 was the best foreign policy President in my lifetime, both in the Mideast and elsewhere.

I read it more as him championing Reagan's Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger doctrine for war following Vietnam than Reagan's foreign policy. Regardless, a breath of fresh air in contrast to the notoriously war-hawkish GOP.

so true. He had me for most of the speech. I notice he said "Bush officials" instead of Republicans, but I gave him a pass for a bit of partisanship. Then he said we should emulate Reagan and I was like

Hindsight being 20/20, what should have been done in Egypt, Syria, etc?

I generally agree with Rand on this one

O, Bush 41 was the best foreign policy President in my lifetime, both in the Mideast and elsewhere.




totally off topic, but saw this thing on GB41 on CNN sunday night. Very interesting, as I didn't know that much about him since I was an infant when he was pres.
