Jeb Bush: Iowa Speech Focuses on Iraq War and Government Transparency

DEMOCRATIC presidential hopeful in the United States (U.S.), Hilary Clinton, has hit back at one of her Republican rivals, Jeb Bush, over who is responsible for instability in Iraq.

“I find it somewhat curious that Jeb Bush is doubling down on defending his brother’s actions in Iraq”, Clinton said, arguing that if Bush was going to criticize Obama’s actions in Iraq, “he needs to present the entire picture”.

Before taking the stage at the Des Moines Register’s Soapbox, Bush briefly laid out his plan to win over Iowa-caucus goers who he says are “discerning voters [that] want to hear what’s on your mind”.

The Republican presidential candidate has become so widely known for his weight loss on the “Paleo” diet that when he indulged in some fried goodness at the Iowa State Fair on Friday, he was frequently questioned by voters and reporters about his splurge.

Bush has defended his brother’s invasion of Iraq, saying the “mission was accomplished” in Iraq by the time George Bush left office because security had been restored.

In 2002, while serving as a US senator from New York, Clinton voted in favor of authorizing the invasion of Iraq ordered by Bush’s brother and then-president George W. Bush. “It was under George W. Bush that the Iranians built covert facilities”.

Bush said he believed the techniques were effective in producing intelligence but that “now we’re in a different environment”.

Bush, who spent much of the summer fundraising, is increasingly active on the stump. “Young people“.

“I got that. I got the family thing. He eliminated some of the loans and scholarship programs…He has made it more expensive and harder for people in Wisconsin to send their kids to college”.

Jeb compounded this appallingly stupid statement by reminding usthat not only is Dubya his most trusted adviser, but said “Paul Wolfowitz is giving some advice”.

“I wouldn’t know how to drive”.

“Now we need to do something else which is to deal with the fact that we have Islamic terrorists organized as a caliphate and the way that you take them out is to rebuild the Iraqi military, provide arms and support for the Kurdish Peshmerga, to re-engage with the Sunnis”, Bush said, “to be able to have a strategy to take them out”. He boasts how toppling Iraq dictator Saddam Hussein was a good decision.

“I hope you want a president that’ll roll up their sleeves and fix these broken systems, for cryin’ out loud, to make sure that we serve the people”, Bush said in his speech, according to USA Today.

“Your brother signed the deal”, the heckler yelled back.
