The essence of the man
...when the library for George W. Bush opens in 2013 on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, visitors will most likely get to see one of his most treasured items: Saddam Hussein’s pistol....
Also,
Mr. Bush also showed Mr. Hegseth another item: a brick from the Iraq safe house where the Qaeda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed by an American air strike in 2006.
To me, this sums up the "mission accomplished" side of George Bush's character. When it was his time, he avoided war with every trick and family string he could pull, but when someone else is doing the dying, he shows the war trophies proudly as his own.

Note also, that Bush's war was really a war of personalities. In his own twisted way, he personalized his war as being mano a mano; The Great W. vs. Saddam. While he publicly talked about freedom, and ideology, we see that privately W. really treated this as personal. Do you know what I'm trying to say?

Does GHW Bush have the window frame from the shooter's nest from the 6th floor of the TSBD?
No, actually, the owner of the TSBD took it. Mr Byrd...very close friends with HL Hunt...and LBJ, Nixon, Prescott Bush and all the big oil names of 20th century Texas...
