His most controversial chapters came during his tenure, including the time he served as the architect of the Gulf War as George H.W. Bush’s Secretary of defence<\/a>. Ten years later, he was George W. Bush’s vice president.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Under George Jr., he served as the vice president, where he was a key architect of the 2003 US<\/strong> invasion of Iraq<\/u><\/strong><\/a>. <\/strong> That decision, praised and reviled in equal measure, would define global geopolitics for a generation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Yet despite the storm clouds of history, his family remains resolute, saying they are deeply grateful for all he did for the country and feel blessed to have loved \u2014 and been loved by \u2014 the noble giant of a man.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
