"Former American President George HW Bush has publicly criticised Dick Cheney and Donald H Rumsfeld, key members of his ***'s administration, in a biography due out next week.
Mr Cheney, Mr Bush said, built "his own empire" and Mr Rumsfeld "served the president badly,". Mr Bush also called Mr Rumsfeld "an arrogant fellow" with "swagger".

"I don't like what he did, and I think it hurt the president having [Mr Rumsfeld's] iron-ass view of everything," Mr Bush said, according to an article in The New York Times that cites the biography's author, Jon Meacham.
"There's a lack of humility, a lack of seeing what the other guy thinks. He's more 'kick ass' and 'take names, take numbers'. I think he paid a price for that."
Of his ***, Mr Bush said he would often worry about the former president's rhetoric.
Citing the "axis of evil" reference in the 2002 State of the Union address, he said: "You go back to the 'axis of evil' and these things and I think that might be historically proved to be not benefiting anything.""
