George W. Bush comes to Romania in September for TV station launch – see other guests invited
Bush will be accompanied by the former state secretary Colin Powell and by David Plouffe, the head of Barack Obama's campaign. The publishing project managers have also invited journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, known for writing the Watergate article series in the Washington Post in the 70s. The Watergate scandal has triggered the resignation of the US president at the time, Richard Nixon.
The former Spanish prime minister José María Aznar López was also invited to the TV station launch in September.
George Walker Bush was the 43rd president of the United States, serving from 2001 to 2009, and the 46th governor of Texas, serving from 1995 to 2000. He is the eldest son of president George H. W. Bush, who served as the 41st president, making him one of only two American presidents to be the son of a preceding president. Under George W Bush's command, the US started the War on Terrorism – the Afghanistan and Iraq invasions.
