THE CON GAME BEGINS: Jeb Bush Hires SAME Foreign Policy Experts That LIED US INTO IRAQ WAR

[Segami]

Jeb "I Am My Own Man" Bush,

ANOTHER BUSH CON MAN LAYING THE FOUNDATION OF LIES PREPARING HIS GRIFTING KABUKI THEATER....

THE STAGE IS BEING SET NOW RETREADING THE BUSH CABAL.



Jeb "I Am My Own Man" Bush, declared today that he would shape his own foreign policy when he gave a speech in Chicago today. However, I'm not sure hiring almost everyone one of his father and brother's advisors is going to help him very much since they all have blood on their hands after the Iraq war debacle.

The latest Bush to consider a bid for the White House promised that his foreign policy would be shaped by “my own thinking and my own experiences.”

But nearly all of the 21 names his campaign-in-waiting announced as supporters and advisers served in high-level positions in the administrations of his father, the 41st president, and his brother, the 43rd.

They represent the full spectrum of views within the Republican foreign policy establishment — from relative moderates, including former secretaries of state George Shultz and James Baker, to staunch neoconservatives such as Iraq war architect Paul Wolfowitz.

Philip Bump has a great graph that pretty much explains everything you need to know about Jeb's foreign policy independence.

If Bush's goal is to present himself as his "own man," that list of advisers undermines the point somewhat: 19 of the 21 people on it worked in the administrations of his father or brother. We've identified the roles each played in the past three Republican administrations, divvying them up as needed in the following Venn diagram.

And he also revives the Bush family credo of "take them out" for his unveiling:

He flubbed the number of ISIS fighters, saying in his speech that it was more than 200,000. (A Bush spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that he “misspoke” and “meant more than 20,000”). The CIA estimated in September that the real number of ISIS fighters is between 20,000 and 31,500. On ISIS in general, Bush had no real policy proposals, saying simply that the U.S. needs to “take them out.”

“It’s violent extreme Islamic terrorism,” Bush said “The more we try to ignore that reality the less likely it is that we’ll develop appropriate strategy to garner the support of the Muslim world, to like I said, tighten the noose and take them out.”

Say, does everyone remember W's famous quote from the 2000 primary debates?

SURE YOU DO!




ITS THE FAMILY CREDO.

1. I sure hope EVERYONE sees him as a clone of "W"! That's the only reason he's hire those guys!

I don't think even the Pubies want another Shrub!

2. Jeb is trying to define himself...

before the scattered chatter groups begin to define him.

[napi21]

3. Well, imo, he FAILED!

He sounds and acts exactly like Dumbya!

[Segami]

5. Its a ways off to 2016...

his advisors are trying to shake off the Bush cabal stigmata cobwebs now by rewriting the script. Their strategy, polls and focus groups will morph him throughout the campaign.


Its NOT enough to call him another Dumbya........it lacks the long term sticking power needed to define him....IMO

6. I agree.

He has shown what he's about right here in the venn diagram. It's why he looks and sounds so much like George, the same puppet-masters are at work, he's just the latest model of "Knucklehead".

And it won't matter now if he tries to put new faces out there, these are his financiers and overlords, have been all his life, they're not going anywhere. This is who the BFEE is.

4. I am hoping this is a good thing

I am hoping should he make it to the general we can all point to those clowns and ask just WTF?

I am hoping the American public will be smart enough to realize that these are the same exact people that led them to a war that is nearly universally seen as a total fiasco and utterly reject him because of it.

Sadly after watching the public be lead by the nose recently on ebola I am not so sure it will work out the way.

7. There are SOOO many ghosts in Jebber's closet.

Terry Schivo, rigging the vote in Fla. to get his brother appointed, HE signed the bill that lets peop[le shoot and kill others IF they're afraid. Add to that the positions even the Pubbies hate, like immigration, pro choice. THEN include hiring all his advisors from the "W" administration, and I can't see him winning anything!

[Egnever]

8. I sure hope it works out that way

I like to think it will, but I am not sure.

13. his daughter the drug addict; his son the perv; his wife the smuggler. it *is* hard to believe

he could win with those negatives, but these days who knows.

9. I thought we were leaving the Hitler insults to the conservatives.

I guess you never can get enough Hitler references no matter what you politics are.

[NBachers]

10. What? No Condi?

[Iliyah]

11. Rummy along with fake new, corporate media are already laying out the case

that GOPERS know how to protect America from brown, black, yellow and red non Christian terrorists.

[Ramses]

12. Jeb is a lying con artist and we all know that

[napkinz]

14. must-read post!

15. And they call him "the smart one"

Ummmmmhmmmmmm.
