Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade sat down with President George Bush recently and asked him about the decision to take all American forces out of Iraq.

Spoiler: he was against it.

He said he agreed with General Dempsey, that a residual force of 10-15,000 should be left in Iraq, but like other Republican presidents, he refused to openly attack the current president:

“The President has to make the choices he thinks are important. I am not going to second guess our President. I understand how tough the job is. To have a former President bloviating and second-guessing is, I don’t think good for the Presidency or for the country.”

Do you believe Obama is going to be this classy when the next Republican president is in office?

Neither do I.
