For those wondering if jeb would have voted for war with Iraq, do you

[shraby]

know he signed the PNAC (Project for a NEW American Century)? That is a stated goal of the document. To invade Iraq as well as other middle east countries and turn them into democracies.
That worked so well didn't it?
He is a neocon through and through and as such is one of the worst things for this country under the sun. They aren't even human.

1. I don't believe it's unclear at all

As I understand, he stated that given the same information he would have done the same thing. I have no doubt that he would have done as he indicated.

4. Sherman just a question

Did Hillary Clinton also vote to go to war?

[Sherman A1]

5. And a question in return

How does that apply to this discussion?

IIRC she did vote to authorize the use of force, but I may be mistaken. I am not completely sure of Hillary Clinton's entire voting record in the Senate.

If she is the nominee, I will vote for her over any Republican, as I would for any Democratic nominee.

7. The original post mentions PNAC

And if memory serves me well that was discussed here before and Hillary was part of that discussion and why i asked the question,

8. You cite a thread from DU2

posted in 2008? Pardon my confusion.

I still don't understand where HRC falls into this discussion of Jeb Bush commenting on the actions of his brother George's decision to use force against Iraq. If you want to start a discussion on the way HRC voted or her views on PNAC fine, I just don't think it logically fits here.

2. In fact, he would have started the war himself if he had been in a position

to do so. That was on the agenda.

3. According to several sources it was supposed to be Jeb who took the office 1st, not Dim Son.

All evidence points to the same actions and conclusion by either Bush.

6. Jeb was a PNAC member.

They wrote to pres Clinton twice urging him to invade Iraq, & also wrote to Netanyahu trying to convince Israel to invade, saying the US would join the fight. That was before GW Bush became president. Those are just the 3 letters I know of, there may have been more.

Yes, Jeb drank the PNAC Kool-Aid, & he's surrounded himself with the old PNAC cabal from GW's administration. They wanted to take out Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, & Syria, & it looks like they still believe their job is only half done.
