New York Times: Jeb Bush Blames Hillary Clinton and Obama for Iraq’s Decline
SIMI VALLEY, Calif. — The war in Iraq, which dominated American presidential politics in 2004 and 2008, has returned as an issue in 2016. This time, the argument is not over whether the United States should have gone to war, but rather how the Obama administration sought to end it.
Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor seeking the Republican presidential nomination, issued a blistering attack on Tuesday on the Obama administration’s handling of Iraq and terrorism issues, asserting that Hillary Rodham Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, had “stood by” as secretary of state as the situation in Iraq deteriorated.
He said President Obama and Mrs. Clinton had orchestrated an early withdrawal of American troops, setting the stage for the chaos sweeping the region now and the rise of the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL.
WNU Editor: No mention on the role that his brother played in creating the turmoil in the Middle East. There is little (if any) U.S. public appetite or support to get involved in another major Middle Eastern war .... and while it is easy to blame President Obama and Hillary Clinton for the disaster that is unfolding right now in the Middle East, the lions share of blame belongs to the political institutions and the people of the region who just cannot get over their sectarian/religious/political divisions.
