Remembering America Going to War in Iraq. 330 $aGoing to War with Iraq: A Comparative History of the Bush Presidencies is the account of two United States presidents and their decision to intervene militarily in Iraq, examining the comparative domestic and international contexts in which the decisions to go to war were made by George H. W. Bush and his son George W. Bush. This book centers specifically on the issue of Saddam Hussein at home and abroad, in the lead up to hostilities with Iraq in 1991 and 2003, respectively. For George H.W. Bush, in 1991, the threat posed by Saddam came from his perceived capabilities as Iraq's leader, whereas for George W. Bush, in 2003, it was the threat posed by Saddam's perceived intentions as Iraq's leader. In both cases, the result was war with Iraq. . 410 0$aThe Evolving American Presidency,$x2945-6169 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aAmerica$xPolitics and government 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aExecutive power 606 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government 606 $aPolitical History 606 $aAmerican Politics 606 $aForeign Policy 606 $aExecutive Politics 606 $aMiddle Eastern Politics 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aAmerica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aExecutive power. 615 0$aMiddle East$xPolitics and government. 615 14$aPolitical History. 615 24$aAmerican Politics. 615 24$aForeign Policy. 615 24$aExecutive Politics. 615 24$aMiddle Eastern Politics. 676 $a956.70443 676 $a973.928 700 $aSiracusa$b Joseph M$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0191502 702 $aVisser$b Laurens J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910369925803321 996 $aGoing to War with Iraq$92129728 997 $aUNINA
