No, Jeb!: Your dad didn’t kill Saddam because he feared that ISIS would happen. Then your brother killed Saddam and ISIS happened.

So, ten years of troops in Iraq wasn’t enough? Maybe ten more? Sure, that’s sound fine. Just keep a US force of 100k American soldiers perpetually stationed in a war zone as the sole deterrent to the situation from deteriorating even further.

It was your brother that negotiated the troop withdrawal. Jesus, this is supposed be the smart one? Bringing up the Iraq war when your last name is Bush is a losing proposition.

Dick Cheney knew it would happen, even SAID it would happen in public speeches at the time. But all that was conveniently forgotten in the decade that followed.

Jeb Bush, like many on the Right, believe in perpetual war. They don’t understand that any culture gets War Fatigue. Some dictators who have engaged in perpetual war have ended up with their heads on pikes. We often do not teach world history very well, but we often forget that, in the lead up to the American and French Revolutions, there was nearly two centuries of perpetual war in Europe. In fact, the French were at war so often that it destabilized their governments right up until the creation of the Fifth Republic.

There is the point that Obama campaigned on a promise of withdrawal…beat the " the more surge" GOP’er McCain handily and today…most American’s feel that war was a fiasco ( of Jeb’s brother’s doing ). He’s got a dumb audience so he’ll get some likes for crap talk like that. But those with a better command of what’s going on and some information in their heads know the whole fucking mess in the Middle East TODAY is the result of his brother’s reckless policies there. He fucked that place up good and permanent. And it’s sound’s like Bush lite here wants to go back for more.

He did? Maybe the rope he’s hanging from moved in the breeze? The speech had that bitchy, sour grapes feel of Cheney or a Dubya minion…

Jeb’s memory only began on January 20, 2009. Unfortunately far too many Republicans and Republican mass media propagandists have the same problem. Iraq war? Obama’s fault. 9/11? Obama’s fault! The Vietnam war? Obama’s fault! WWII? Barack Hitler Hussein Obama’s fault. WWI? Gavrilo Princip Hussein Obama. The Civil War? That N–clang, OBAMA!!!1!!1! The DEATH OF CHRIST??? Do I even need to tell you? Well DO I???

“But we do need to convey that we are serious, that we are determined to help local forces take back their country.”

In the world of Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds, what in blazes does that sentence mean?

Trump’s eye blood Red Wedding was rife with near zero GOP/female context, FYI.
I get it. This is satire (irony department). With his campaign foundering, Jeb’s auditioning to replace Jon Stewart at the Daily Show.

C’mon everyone. Be fair – Jeb’s right about this one. I saw on Fox last night that Hillary and Obama are the ones who got us into this mess.

Hannity try and force feed every FOX buzzword into Trump’s mouth, nice kissing and making-up.
The George H. W. Bush’s sons aren’t exactly well known for their smarts, subtlety, deft touch, even remotely decent short term or long term memory, strong grasp of reality/facts, eloquence, strategic competence, wits, or thick skin for that matter.
If their dad had been anyone else, they’d have been a drunken business failure (W), and teacher in a school somewhere in Texas (Jeb).

Jeb has made so many misstatements and distortions of fact that he has now become an object of ridicule, and this is yet one more example.
