"Merkel brought class and dignity to a very important position and made very hard decisions. She did what's best for Germany, and did so based upon principle," former U.S. President George W. Bush said in an interview with DW Washington Bureau Chief Ines Pohl ahead of Chancellor Angela Merkel's farewell visit to the White House on Thursday, July 15.
The interview at the Bush family's summer home in Maine was conducted as part of the DW documentary "Angela Merkel – Navigating a World in Crisis," which will be published on our DW Documentary YouTube channel in September, shortly before the federal elections which will determine Merkel's succession.

This man dodges questions as good as he dodges shoes. He still got it.
-
So much blood on his hands.
-
Can the media stop acting like GWB is an innocent good man?
-
This war criminal is roaming around like nothing happened. He should be in jail.
-
shouldn"t this guy be in prison for the crimes committed against iraqis
-
Maybe he should reflect on all the turmoil and death he caused in The Middle East under the guise of "nation building"
-
“There is a lot of blood spilled because of this guy” -everybody
-
He should make a masterclass about the art of how not to answer a question
-
This guy should reflect on his own legacy during which he triggered an illegal war in Iraq from 2003 which caused the death of thousands of American troops and the death of a million of Iraqi citizens. If we were living in a real democracy, he would be in jail...
-
This man should be in a prison for war crimes. Send him to guantanamo bay!
-
He should be interviewed for War Crime not about Markel.
-
From a President to a Simple Painter, That`s Greatness
-
That was actually more insightful than expected
-
legends say he is still searching nukes in iraq
-
Congrats for the initiative of the Interview
-
War criminals shouldn't be allowed to rehabilitate their image with rosy press tours like this.
-
"I, of course, had no idea we were spying on Merkel." Please.
-
DW Should do more these, release your interviews in full form. Frontline started doing it sometime ago and it was wildly successful. We want to hear the interviews of experts in entirety, not just the clips that make into the documentary version.
-
She was never afraid to lead. I am confident to say that Dick Chaney wasn't either.
-
There is such a thing as good short term history, your history was clear at the time, and is still very clear.
