Former President George H.W. Bush Slams Dick Cheney In New Book

    The architects of post-9/11 U.S. policies have a new critic… Former President George H.W. Bush.

    FOX News’ Jared Halpern has more from Washington:

    Harsh words for key members of his son’s administration are revealed in a new biography of George H.W. Bush authored by Jon Meacham.

    In the book titled ‘Destiny and Power,’ the elder Bush says former Vice President Dick Cheney turned more hard-line, describing him as an “iron ass.”

    Cheney, who is reading the book, says that’s a mark of pride…

    (Cheney) “I was aggressive in defending and carrying out what I thought were the right policies.”

    But Bush says he though Cheney was too independent and said of his son’s defense chief Donald Rumsfeld…

    “There’s a lack of humility, a lack of seeing what the other guy thinks.” Rumsfeld declined comment to FOX News.
