BUSH GHOST WRITER SHOWS TRUTH ABOUT FATHER AND SON

Mickey Herskowitz - a ghost writer for both George W. Bush and George
H.W. Bush - has revealed startling information about both men, which he
learned from extensive candid conversations with the 41st and the 43rd
presidents. Herskowitz revealed the information in a series of
interviews with investigative reporter Russ Baker, which Baker tape
recorded.[1]

Baker's article reveals that "in 2003, Bush's father indicated to
[Herskowitz] that he disagreed with his son's invasion of Iraq."[2]

George W. Bush was reluctant to talk to Herskowitz about his National
Guard service. But Bush did tell him "that after transferring from his
Texas Guard unit two-thirds through his six-year military obligation to
work on an Alabama political campaign, he did not attend any Alabama
National Guard drills at all, because he was 'excused.'"[3] Bush's
comments to Herskowitz "directly contradicts his public statements that he
participated in obligatory training with the Alabama National Guard."[4]

According to Herskowitz, "two years before the September 11 attacks,
presidential candidate George W. Bush was already talking privately about
attacking Iraq."[5] In 1999, Bush said to Herskowitz, "My father had
all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of
Kuwait and he wasted it. If I have a chance to invade.... if I had that much
capital, I'm not going to waste it. I'm going to get everything passed
that I want to get passed and I'm going to have a successful
presidency."[6]
