Taunted by Republicans to declare war on "radical Islamic terrorism," Democrats are turning to an unlikely ally: George W. Bush.

President Barack Obama, under pressure to be more aggressive on terrorism, regularly cites his predecessor's refusal to demonize Muslims or play into the notion of a clash between Islam and the West. It's a striking endorsement from a president whose political rise was predicated on opposition to the Iraq war and Bush's hawkish approach in the Middle East.

GWB was never afraid to say the words "Radical Islamic Terror" or "Jihad."

True, and I like him a lot.

Neal Boortz was one of several talk show hosts who had the privilege of a conference with Dubya. Boortz was not allowed to disclose the exact details of the conference. However, he did say that GWB sincerely believed that Islam was a religion of peace.

I didn't care for Dubya's domestic policies, but his foreign policies were based on the best available information at that time.

George W Bush had four decent not great but decent years as a rino president. His last four were a joke he may as well have not been in the office he did nothing and watched as our country was being over run by illegals. I liked him a as a person but his presidency left something to be desired. No more Bush's advice on anything let that family die off in peace.
