Mexico’s Fox, in Book, Chides and Praises Bush

“President Bush and Vicente Fox once portrayed themselves as diplomatic allies and close friends, but the former Mexican president takes some jabs at Bush in a new autobiography, calling him “the cockiest guy I have ever met in my life” and a “windshield cowboy” afraid to ride a powerful horse.

Fox sprinkles anecdotes about Bush and other world leaders throughout “Revolution of Hope,” recounting disagreements with Bush over the Iraq invasion and a shared hope for immigration reform that was undercut by security concerns after Sept. 11, 2001. The former Mexican leader also chides Bush’s administration for unilateralism.”
