The New York Post reports that former president George W. Bush called Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky “the Winston Churchill of our time.”  Bush spoke to Zelensky on May 5, 2022 via videoconference.  Then, on Instagram, Bush posted that he thanked Zelensky for “his leadership, his example, and his commitment to liberty.”  Bush also said, “We will continue to stand with Ukrainians as they stand up for their freedom.”
One would think after that the debacles in Afghanistan and Iraq, Bush would be a little more humble when he talks about war.
After the September 11, 2001 attacks on America, Bush gave some stirring, Churchillian speeches to Congress and the American people.  He portrayed the struggle against al-Qaeda and their sponsors as an existential battle of good versus evil.  And he told the world that you were either with the United States in this struggle or against us.  He then waged war against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan and waged war in Iraq based on intelligence that Iraq was hiding weapons of mass destruction and was associated with Islamic terrorists.
