"President George H.W. Bush knew how to end a war on our terms. When he
said we would take action, we did... He avoided sophomoric decisions like
imposing a ceiling on the number of troops or setting a date when we would
stop fighting," wrote Mattis according to excerpts of the book.
Mattis said that Bush 41's strengths as commander-in-chief were not
necessarily related to his military service. "Take a look at one of the best
president's that we ever had, President Lincoln. He was quite fond of
saying that the only military experience that he had was fighting mosquitos
when he was called up for an indian war. I think it has to do with the
degree of humility, the degree of study of history, and the degree of team
building and the willingness to listen to people that may have good ideas,"
said Mattis.
Strikingly, Mattis did not offer the same approval for the Bush 43 White
House.
Specifically, Mattis wrote about the administration's decision to invade the
Iraqi city of Fallujah in 2004. The assault of Fallujah marked one of the
bloodiest episodes of the entire Iraq War. As the leader of the Marine
Corps troops, Mattis wrote that he advised against a full attack on the city
of up to 350,000 people, but he was overruled. | s******W

Mattis slams Obama, Biden for 'ignoring reality' in Iraq, leading to rise of
ISIS
Former Defense Secretary James Mattis, in stark terms, lambasts Barack Obama
and Joe Biden for faulty leadership in his new book, and suggests their
naivete and ignorance of reality contributed to the rise of ISIS in Iraq,
according to excerpts reviewed by The Washington Examiner.
The book, "Call Sign Chaos: Learning to Lead," co-written with Bing West,
does not delve into Mattis' discussions with President Trump. Mattis,
speaking to "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday, said only that he did not have a "
tense" relationship with the president.
