Another? Pulling Kuwait because HWBush (a cofounder of Carlyle along with his business partner, George Soros and the Bin Laden family) owned a large chunk of shares in Q8, the Kuwaiti state oil company. Kuwait/Iraq was him protecting his assets, while Saddam freed the thousands of virtual slaves held in Kuwait. (The Kuwaitis recruited foreign labor, then took their passports away.)

It was the brilliant, ruthless Bush who gamed control of the Texas Railroad Commission, America's ad hoc agency to control the booming oil business. He and his oil patch buddy Salinas became a partnership there; Bush became the President of the US, Salinas became the President of Mexico, and they moved Ollie North's CIA/Naval military intelligence Contra cocaine trade banking from South America to Mexico's banks, forming the Sinaloa cartel (Mexico's most powerful cartel.)

To cover for his son Neal, he pulled the S&L stunt; from that stunt, he created the MBS tranches that resulted in the 2009 Mortgage Meltdown, which harvested billions in LEAPs option puts...I guess I need not mention how his son Marvin Bush was manager of Larry Silverstein's World Trade Center during 9/11.

Bush 1 was a criminal mastermind, all right, a Lex Luthor; I see him as Earth's first Planetary Governor (because of the unipolar hegemony of the US), an astonishing achievement in its own right.

Wow! I am impressed by your meticulous and detailed work. All I know is that even a cursory reading of the LA Times back in the Bush years revealed that Kuwaiti young men, presumably the most likely soldiers, were busy packing their Vuitton bags for anywhere but Kuwait. I'm no military strategist, but it seemed clear that if Kuwaitis didn't care, no reason existed for us to give a damn, much less send our young people to that benighted parking lot in the sand.
