How did Bush build consensus for action?
Building consensus was crucial. I saw my role as bringing people together, listening to differing viewpoints, and finding common ground. This involved extensive diplomacy, both domestically and internationally. For the Persian Gulf crisis, we worked tirelessly to build a global coalition, securing support from Arab nations, European allies, and others to achieve our objectives. It was about shared purpose and collective action.
