Jim, My opinions about Bush's intellect? How about the opinions of his fellow Texas Republicans? Bush Weak in Foreign Policy WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Brent Scowcroft, the national security advisor to President Bush, said that the younger Bush clearly lacks international credentials as reported to the Boston Globe April 5th. "Is he comfortable with foreign policy? I would say not." Scowcroft said. The governor's main experience "was being around when his father was in his many positions." Unlike United States Senators and Representatives who spend years analyzing and voting on foreign policy issues, state governors spend their time at home. Does Bush have the brain power to learn on the job? Not according to former GOP Texas State Chairman Tom Pauken who held the post from 1994 to 1998. Pauken says he has "real concerns" about a Bush presidency - "It's critical we have someone with the intellect to handle the job. It's one thing to be a governor in a state where Lieutenant Governor Bob Bullock had most of the power; but it's a totally different thing to be President." Pauken mocked Bush as a "me-too Republican". Bush acknowledged he is weak in foreign policy. "This is a big world and I've got a lot to learn," he stated June 22nd. Bush is being tutored by various advisors so he won't continue to refer to Greeks as Grecians or confuse Slovenia with Slovakia. georgebush2000.com Scumbria
