Jeb doubles, triples down on criminal war

In a 15 person field of dreadful GOP candidates, none can match the mendacity of Jeb Bush. He is utterly incoherent when asked to second guess his brother's criminal war in Iraq, which left hundreds of thousands dead, including 4,500 GI's. He's hired many of his brother's neocon advisors, and promises more troops, more bombing, more regime change and utterly no negotiation in the world's most volatile region. He blames all the current carnage on the Obama, Clinton team for withdrawing from his brother's criminal war, conveniently forgetting brother George negotiated the withdrawal from Iraq in order to keep Gi's from being prosecuted by Iraqi authorities for their random torture and murder of Iraqi civilians. Jeb is defiant about sabotaging the Iran nuclear deal, substituting ever severe sanctions instead, oblivious that the rest of the world will gleefully scarf up the billions in trade that Jeb leaves on the table. The're done with America's fear and war mongering over Iran.  

George W. Bush's support for brother Jeb's presidential bid involves more than politics and family loyalty. He knows Jeb will leave any investigation of his war crimes off the presidential 'to-do' list. Giving George W. a pass on his war crimes may be Obama's single most disgraceful policy, and  it likely won't be touched by any one else who might ascend the presidency. But Jeb's lust to riff off his brother's criminality and promote a scorched earth policy against anyone he defines as terrorists in the region his brother destabilized is the worst choice possible in 2016.
