"My brother was the reader in the family." . . . Please come CAPTION Jeb Bush!!!!

Last edited Fri Aug 14, 2015, 11:34 AM - Edit history (1)




Jeb ("Sure, I got spirit. . . . I just toned it way down.&quot Bush is saying: " . . . and it's apparent to anyone who truly looks that the Iraq War was a great, great thing! . . . It removed a ruthless dictator from his blood-thirsty reign, we got years' worth of invaluable training for our troops, and it provided jobs for hundreds of Iraqi-English translators. . . . All that foolish talk about disrupting the Middle-East so that terrorism and could thrive, hell, that's just fantasy, like an Alice in Wonderland biography or reading tea leaves for Satan. . . . What if? . . . What if? . . . .Heck, it's crazy to even speculate! "




***************************************************************

CAPTION based on the following Crooks and Liars story with a lovely but abbreviated little clip (missing Bush's Back ot the Future reference which nakes the CAPTION fit its occasion a bit better):

These people are just too invested in what happened to admit that it was wrong. If Jeb fessed up that George was out of line maybe some people would think he was honest, but I doubt it.

I mean I could literally just stand in one spot for the next year and still get the nomination due to heavy corporate donations, family entanglements, and party establishment machinery.....but I didnt. I used my noise making muscles. Your welcome.

then I wouldn't be for it, but I have to admit part of what I know now are lies. I think we have to remember how great the result of the war that I am totally against now, was according to these lies. That is why I am for it, was for it, and now totally against it. It was a mistake. A mistake with fabulous results. Results we can all live with if these lies were true. It is also common knowledge that I allege that Hillary Clinton ruined Iraq. Which is why I'm now totally against it. Yeach, I hate Iraq war totally and one hundred percent now, but oh I loved it then. I would be for it still, though, if the great results of my brother hadn't been lost by Obama. That is why we must defeat Obama in 2016. So this is why I am totally against this war that I am for now. I promise that I won't be making the same incredibly bold mistake of my brother in war, but I see a country longing for new mistakes. I hope my message on the Iraq war has been totally clarified.

I feel it's obscene for Bush to blame ISIS on Obama and ignore any culpability of his brother.
