Former US president George H.W. Bush, who helped steer America through the end of the ColdWar, died Friday at age 94, his family announced.
“Jeb, Neil, Marvin, Doro and I are saddened to announce that after 94 remarkable years, our dear
Dad has died,” his son, former president George W. Bush, said in a statement released on
Twitter by a family spokesman.
“George H.W. Bush was a man of the highest character and the best dad a son or daughter
could ask for.”
Bush’s passing comes just months after the death in April of his wife and revered first lady
Barbara Bush — his “most beloved
woman in the world” — to whom he was married for 73 years.
He is survived by his five children and 17 grandchildren.
Funeral arrangements will be announced in due course, a family spokesman said.
The US leader was a foreign policy stalwart who declared a “new world order” in 1990 and drove
Iraq from Kuwait but saw his military intervention in the Middle East serve as a harbinger of
chaos to come.
The decorated war pilot and former CIA chief suffered the ignominy of being a one-term
president, denied a second term over a weak economy when he lost the 1992 election to upstart
Democrat Bill Clinton.
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE. AMEN.
GUYS, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

If not that they like to speak good about the dead there would be very few spoken about him. He should've been in jail as a war criminal and rot there.
He said once that if Americans ever found out what they did (himself included), they would be lynched on the streets
