NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Former President George H.W. Bush says he's proud of how his son held to his principles during his presidency and kept the U.S. safe after the 2001 terror attacks.
Bush addressed the National Automobile Dealers Association in New Orleans yesterday. He also says he believes that if the United States had tried to get Saddam Hussein to surrender during Operation Desert Storm -- during his presidency -- some of the problems the U.S. has since faced may have been avoided.
Bush took a moment to speak about his son's presidency. He noted that the convention of automobile dealers was not a political event.
