President George H. W. Bush was an elite custodian of capitalism and empire, with countless victims, from Iraq to Panama. The former oil tycoon and CIA director paved the way for Trumpism.

Bush Sr. was definitely a war criminal.
The attack on Panamanian civilians in 1989 was basically a trade show for war contractors and, while Saddam Hessein was a horrible dictator, Bush’s plan of baiting him into invading Kuwait as a prelude to a U.S. invasion was despicable. He so badly wanted to put that “Wimp President” label by Newsweek into a grave.
Speaking of the Invasion of Iraq, I heard disturbing news that the newest White House psycho wants William Barr as Attorney General. That’s the guy who, as Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel, was instrumental in luring Hessein into invading Kuwait back in August 1990, I believe.
An homage to the newest dead president?
