Jeb Bush Won't Talk About Wars His Brother Started

[dblack]

I'm sure Jeb can also expect questions about his role as Governor of Florida regarding the 2000 presidential election.

I am sure Hillary can expect questions on everything from cattle futures to Bill's STD's and illegal perversions.

Here's hoping they both go down in flames!

 

[Synthaholic]

The Iraq War was a political war of choice by then President George W. Bush that was based on his lies - not the CIA.

That is a bald faced lie!

They picked the intel that matched their goals and disregarded all the intel that contradicted their goals.

 

[Synthaholic]

On the same intelligence that had Bubba hyperventilating about Saddam's WMD programs. You do remember that, right? He was desperate to distract attention from Monica at the time.

No, I don't remember that. How about a link?

I do remember Clinton firing missiles at Saddam for his attempt on H.W. Bush's life.

 

[Lakhota]

Anger, fear and patriotism were running high after 9/11 - which gave Bush a very gullible American audience to feed his lies to. Most Americans rallied behind the president - not yet knowing that he was an evil bastard - a psycho.

 

[hadit]

So were many prominent Dems before Bush ever set foot in the WH.

FAIL

Dems didn't invade Iraq. Bush did.

Bush and a Democrat Congress invaded Iraq... all duly authorized bub.

Deal with it.

Your NaziCon spin can't whitewash reality. Bush pulled the trigger - based on his cherry-picked lies.

Did he use these 'lies' to make his decision?

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..."
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003 | Source

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002 | Source

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002 | Source

They didn't pull the trigger and invade Iraq - for a 2nd time. The Bushes invaded Iraq TWICE - both times based on deception.

A "deception" that apparently Bubba Clinton believed before W ever took office.

Whether he believed it or not, it didn't rise to the level of taking military action, since he did not.

Probably because believing something is so doesn't mean it is so, and until enough evidence is found to change 'believe' to 'know', invading is the wrong choice.

But it was Bush's choice, and solely Bush's choice.

Bush was pushing for the Iraq War long before 9/11. He was the puppeteer Various credible reports bear that out.

Your only valid link is the one from Kerry, so I will address that:

He says "Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein." He doesn't say we need to invade Iraq. Sanctions like the ones that have crippled Iran and seriously hurt Russia could have been a solution Kerry would have advocated.

Colin Powell said, "if you break it, you own it" - also known as the Pottery Barn rule. Bush broke it. He broke the hell out of it. For better or worse - Bush will forever own Iraq.

"The famous expression, if you break it you own it—which is not a Pottery Barn expression, by the way—was a simple statement of the fact that when you take out a regime and you bring down a government, you become the government."

I'm sure I can pull up plenty of speeches by Republicans trashing Putin, warning what he may do in the future. But that's not a mandate for Obama to start a conflict with Russia.

What these statements prove is that these Democrats were getting intel information from US and our allies intel agencies that Saddam was armed and dangerous.
As far as Putin and Russia is concerned, when are the going to vote for a conflict in the Congress?

If they do that to Hillary, I might believe they have integrity. And the bottom line remains, she is much more responsible the Iraq war than Jeb will ever be. So, if he's questioned about it, she should be as well.

How did the Democrats vote on bombing Syria?

"The president got what he wanted this past week when the House and Senate overwhelmingly approved arming and training moderate Syrian rebels to fight Islamic State militants. But the go-ahead is good for less than three months. And many lawmakers want a say over the rest of a plan featuring some 1,600 U.S. military advisers in Iraq and airstrikes expanding into Syria."
