George H.W. Bush 1990 - 1991 The Sweep of History

Send us a Text Message.

One of the United States' closest allies is the nation of Canada and during this period it had one of its greatest statesman at the helm of Government, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. He stood with Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul 2 as they worked to end the scourge of Communism in the late 1980s and continued on to aid President Bush as Communism fell. He formed great friendships with all of these leaders.
In this episode we hear about some of that, including the former Prime Ministers reminiscence about giving President Bush's eulogy many years after the Gulf War, and then we will watch him step up to the microphone to stand with President Bush as he began the coalition building that was necessary to stop the naked aggression of Saddam Hussein.
This episode will feature that press conference from Kennebunkport, Maine.
