Jeb Bush wants to invade Iraq. Again.

[WilliamPitt]

If Jeb Bush does run to be 45, he says he is prepared to be the third Bush to employ American military power in Iraq.

(snip)

He said the United States should “reengage with some small force level who can help continue to train the Iraqi army, to be able to provide some stability.”

He also said he envisions carving out a combat staging area in Syria to support international military operations against the Islamic State, with the support of US air power.

1. He's a little late. Obama beat him to the punch. He does want to expand and have

his own Iraq war, it seems.

[Renew Deal]

2. Of course he does

People need to watch the Maddow special on the topic.

3. Just drop him off over there

By himself. He can invade all his evil little heart wants.

8. I agree..let him visit his brother's disaster...

Let him walk alone thru some of the neighborhoods his brother caused to be destroyed.

[Runningdawg]

4. Of course he does!

It's a family tradition.

[Zorra]

5. Of course. War is the blue ribbon cash cow of the 1%. nt

6. Anything for Daddy.

But is he still lucid?

[TheKentuckian]

7. Too late for that we are there now and never really left anyway.

[onyourleft]

9. It worked out...

...so well for others, why not do it again? It is unfortunate that all the energy expended by that family in war could not have been given to something that would have contributed positively to mankind. Instead we have little men with little minds who want to do nothing with their lives except kill other people.

10. llllike we are right now?

11. He wants to play Army Boy too! Just like his big brother.

Of course someone elses child has to pay the price.

[Octafish]

12. He's going to have to wait his turn.

WTF. We just started Iraq War III on ISIS or whoever we're arming and bombing.

Jebthro'll have plenty of time to attack Iraq and spend our children's, grandchildren's and great-grandchildren's future soon enough.
