According to information in an April 26, 2004, Newsweek article: “A hint could be found in [President George W.] Bush’s ready explanation as to why he had not gone to his father [former President George H.W. Bush] for advice on Iraq. ‘You know,’ he said, ‘he is the wrong father to appeal to in terms of strength. There is a higher father that I appeal to.’ ”
