Bush links Clinton to rise of Islamic State
American leadership is essential for a more peaceful world and it cannot be achieved without a strong US military, leading Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush has said as he termed president Barack Obama’s foreign policy as “Alice in Wonderland”.
“So desperate to be the history-makers, they did not be the peacemakers”, Bush will say of the president and his secretary of state. We know that the one Real Bad Terra-ist Attack On U.S. American Soil actually happened when that other Bush was president – even though conservative revisionist historians would have us think otherwise – and nothing like that has happened while President Obama has been presidenting us, and no, the BENGHAZI!!!
He will say Clinton, who was Obama’s first-term secretary of state, deserves some of the blame. “But Gov. Bush is certainly making no effort to avoid the issue”.
Bush is going to the Reagan Library in Southern California to lay out his plan for defeating ISIS.
ISIS grew while the United States disengaged from the Middle East and ignored the threat.
In an interview with the Atlantic ” s Jeffery Goldberg last year, Clinton blamed the failure to help the rebels early in the civil war for the rise of ISIS and the worsening of a crisis that eventually spread to Iraq, saying, “The failure to help build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against Assad-there were Islamists, there were secularists, there was everything in the middle-the failure to do that left a big vacuum, which the jihadists have now filled”. “It’s like Alice in Wonderland foreign policy, it’s all backwards, it’s all upside down. Like the president himself, she had opposed the surge, then joined in claiming credit for its success, then stood by as that hard-won victory by American and allied forces was thrown away”, Bush will say. Bush plans to say. White Home aides have stated that Mr. Obama will not check with violence by Muslims as “Islamic terrorism” as a result of he needs to disclaim them the power to name the conflict a spiritual warfare.
Bush will dismiss the White House’s idea that “the tide of war is receding” as just “wishful thinking by the administration”. “Instead of simply reacting to each new move the terrorists choose to make, we will use every advantage we have – to take the offensive, to keep it, and to prevail”. Maybe in their next debate, someone can ask them how their foreign policy would differ in any way from George W. Bush’s. “But the simple fact is that we are in a much more unstable place because American pulled back”, he said.
Several other GOP candidates have criticized Obama’s actions and call generally for a more aggressive U.S. posture.
