Bush, who is often portrayed in the U.K. media as a dumb hick. But the former prime minister insists that Bush was &#8220;very smart&#8221; while possessing an &#8220;immense simplicity in how he saw the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was asked recently which of the political leaders I had met had most integrity,&#8221; he says. &#8220;I listed George near the top. He had genuine integrity and as much political courage as any leader I ever met.&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, I strongly believe that history will agree with Mr. Blair.\u00a0 No one in the world knew more about the real intelligence regarding Iraq and Saddam Hussein than Tony Blair.\u00a0 It would be hard to make a case that George Bush tricked Tony Blair into believing anything.\u00a0 I wonder if anyone in the main stream media will notice and if they do, I wonder if they will dare report it accurately.\u00a0 For years the mainstream media has portrayed Bush as a na\u00efve, stupid, corrupt right wing bigot.\u00a0 It is hard to reconcile that image with the statements by Mr. Blair.\u00a0 Either Mr. Blair is na\u00efve and incompetent, or the press got this all bass ackwards.<\/p>\n<p>George Bush is about to release his memoirs, on November 9th.\u00a0\u00a0 I believe that people are going to be stunned to find out that the Bush who shows up in print is\u00a0brilliant man, with enormous\u00a0integrity and\u00a0unequalled political courage.\u00a0\u00a0 The contrast with Obama will be too obvious to ignore.\u00a0 The problem for the Press is that George Bush knows the truth, which they either ignored or failed to recognize.\u00a0 I think a lot of other people will recognize the truth when they see it.<\/p>\n<p>TDM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tony Blair just published his long-awaited memoirs.\u00a0\u00a0 It is important to realize that Tony Blair was a liberal, adored by the main stream media.\u00a0 He was everything George Bush was not, suave, sophisticated and undeniably brilliant.\u00a0 But here is what &hellip;
