Another Bush Invasion of Iraq? US Presidential Candidate Jeb Says Use Troops to Fight ISIS

The former Florida said the US must be prepared to send
ground troops to tackle ISIS

DAILY EXPRESS: REPUBLICAN presidential candidate Jeb Bush has signalled he would support further military interventions in Iraq to defeat Islamic State.

The brother of former president George W Bush said the US may need to send more ground troops into the country to defeat militants fighting for the terror group - also known as ISIS.

In his first speech on foreign policy since launching his bid for the White House, Mr Bush attacked President Barack Obama for allowing the fanatical regime to take hold in the Middle East.

He said: "Who can seriously argue that America and our friends are safer today than in 2009, when the president and Secretary Clinton - the storied 'team of rivals' - took office?"

The 62-year-old former Florida governor blasted Hillary Clinton for standing by as the "hard-won victory by American and allied forces was thrown away".

He added: "ISIS grew while the United States disengaged from the Middle East and ignored the threat. » | Tom Batchelor | Wednesday, August 13, 2015

Barbaric ISIS a Real Threat to US, Says Presidential Candidate Jeb Bush

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush says the US must do more to combat Islamic State. 'We've let our guard down,' he said at a forum in New Hampshire, broadcast on C-SPAN, at which Republican presidential candidates tested their messages ahead of the first official debate on Thursday

Jeb Bush Thinks Islam Has Been 'Hijacked' by 'Barbarians'

THE GUARDIAN: Republican presidential candidate says peaceful practitioners should not take offense at his opinion on those ‘who want to destroy western civilization’

Jeb Bush, the potential Republican presidential candidate, said in an appearance in Washington on Thursday afternoon that the religion of Islam had been “hijacked” by “barbarians” – and that peaceful practitioners of the religion should not be offended by his saying so.

Bush made the comments at a conservative conference during a one-on-one interview with the National Review Institute’s Rich Lowry.

Lowry asked: “Is Islam a religion of peace?”

Bush’s reply, in full, ran:

“I’m sure for some of the practitioners, but it’s been hijacked by people who have a [sic] ideology that wants to destroy western civilization, and they’re barbarians. And so that part, which is the part that we need to confront head-on, is clearly not a religion of peace.

“And I think it’s – you’re not offending the sensibilities of people that are peaceful in the adherence to their faith when you say what I just said.” » | Tom McCarthy in New York | Thursday, April 30, 2015

US Election 2012: Jeb Bush Calls on Republicans to Back Mitt Romney

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Mitt Romney is within touching distance of securing the Republican presidential ticket after an emphatic 12-point victory in Illinois led to fresh calls from senior members of the party, including Jeb Bush, for his rivals to stand aside.

The front-runner was given a further boost yesterday by the endorsement of Jeb Bush, the brother of former President George W Bush.

"Now is the time for Republicans to unite behind Governor Romney and take our message of fiscal conservatism and job creation to all voters this fall," said Mr Bush, a former Florida governor who has himself been touted as a possible future Republican presidential candidate.

His intervention, after months of declining to make an endorsement, was taken as a signal that it was now time to coalesce behind Mr Romney and put an end to a bitterly divisive primary campaign that poll ratings show has damaged both the Republican party and the candidates.

Mr Romney now has 563 delegates, a lead of 300 over Mr Santorum in the race to achieve the "magic number" of 1,144 needed to clinch the nomination outright and face President Barack Obama in November.

"At some point the reality is going to set in that Mitt is the all but certain nominee," Mr Romney's chief spin doctor Eric Fehrnstrom told CNN, adding that no "deus ex machina" was going to come down from heaven and change the outcome of the race. » | Peter Foster | Washington | Wednesday, March 21, 2012

Jeb Bush fasst das Präsidentenamt ins Auge
WELT ONLINE: Er sagt, er wolle nicht Präsidentschaftskandidat werden – und heizt doch gleichzeitig die Debatte an, ob ein dritter Republikaner aus der Bush-Dynastie um das Weiße Haus kämpfen wird. Jeb Bush, ehemaliger Gouverneur von Florida, scheint mit einem höheren politischen Amt zu liebäugeln.

Jeb Bush, jüngerer Bruder des vorigen Präsidenten George W. Bush und von 1998 bis 2006 Gouverneur von Florida, sagte dem Magazin „Esquire", er wache nicht jeden Tag auf mit der Überzeugung: „Ich bin die Lösung der Probleme des Lebens." 



Ihn „schmeichelt es, wenn die Leute meinen Rat suchen", sagte der bei Exil-Kubanern und Hispanics sehr populäre Ex-Gouverneur, der zweimal mit klarem Vorsprung die Wahlen gewann und wegen der Verfassung kein drittes Mal antreten durfte.

Doch Jeb Bush, der Lieblingssohn des früheren Präsidenten George H.W. Bush senior, schränkte zugleich ein, er habe „derzeit" nicht die luxuriöse Situation, alles um eine Kandidatur auszurichten. Solch ein Satz, solche eine Einschränkung nähren Spekulationen. >>> Von Ansgar Graw
