Remembering America Going to War in Iraq.Going to War with Iraq: A Comparative History of the Bush Presidencies is the account of two United States presidents and their decision to intervene militarily in Iraq, examining the comparative domestic and international contexts in which the decisions to go to war were made by George H. W. Bush and his son George W. Bush. This book centers specifically on the issue of Saddam Hussein at home and abroad, in the lead up to hostilities with Iraq in 1991 and 2003, respectively. For George H.W. Bush, in 1991, the threat posed by Saddam came from his perceived capabilities as Iraq's leader, whereas for George W. Bush, in 2003, it was the threat posed by Saddam's perceived intentions as Iraq's leader. In both cases, the result was war with Iraq. .The Evolving American Presidency,2945-6169World politicsAmericaPolitics and governmentInternational relationsExecutive powerMiddle EastPolitics and governmentPolitical HistoryAmerican PoliticsForeign PolicyExecutive PoliticsMiddle Eastern PoliticsWorld politics.AmericaPolitics and government.International relations.Executive power.Middle EastPolitics and government.Political History.American Politics.Foreign Policy.Executive Politics.Middle Eastern Politics.956.70443973.928Siracusa Joseph Mauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut191502Visser Laurens Jauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910369925803321Going to War with Iraq2129728UNINA
