Jeb Bush On Iraq And Afghanistan Wars I Won t Talk About The Past

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) isn't interested in talking about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, especially as it relates to his brother, former President George W. Bush.

"I won't talk about the past," Bush said on Friday when a reporter asked him about an upcoming foreign policy speech in Chicago, according to Bloomberg Politics. "I'll talk about the future. If I'm in the process of considering the possibility of running, it's not about re-litigating anything in the past. It's about trying to create a set of ideas and principles that will help us move forward."

The former Florida governor said that if he decides to run for president in 2016, his campaign would focus on a positive vision of the future rather than focus on the past.

Bush also refused to answer a question about fighting the Islamic State, only saying that he would get into foreign policy during his speech on Wednesday at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.

Its not just his brother's baggage he's hoping to outrun.

Too bad his past can't be sealed. Like transcripts or a birth certificate.

A presidential candidate who won't talk about the past.

Not that the past must always be carefully analyzed by Presidents or anything.

Yikes.

He'll talk about the past. He just hasn't prepared his answer yet.

It's called spin. Every politician does it.

It expected.
