Christi Fires Back At Jeb Bush

ut I don't think you can honestly say that if we knew then that there was no (weapons of mass destruction), that the country should have gone to war," he said.

The comments were a direct response to Bush's support for the Iraq War during a Fox News interview. Though Bush was asked by host Megyn Kelly whether, "knowing what we know now," he would've authorized the war in Iraq, he responded affirmatively to a slightly different scenario.

"I would have (authorized the invasion), and so would have Hillary Clinton, just to remind everybody. And so would almost everybody that was confronted with the intelligence they got," Bush said in the interview.

He talks about weakening intelligence and strenghting intelligence. He says he thinks Obama is responsible for weakening in a shot at the state of national security.
He talks about the ability to counter terrorist attacks and a weakened intelligence community makes us venerable.
And he says the country has a tendency to look back rather than forward.

Looking back, Christi is not so good about surrounding himself with intelligence or much in an intelligence factor. And on the subject of preventing terrorist attacks, well 'just look back on Fort Lee. He didn't prevent that did he ?

Christi wants everybody to forget about it. His own history teaching us nothing ?

Goodness my toast is burning !

This based on his underlings saying under oath he knew about Bridgegate.

Then there's his withholding Sandy funds from mayors who didn't support his gov re-election bid. And his using million$ of fed Sandy $ for ads extolling his virtues during that campaign.

And then there's his spending NJ money on NFL trips.

These are just some of the things we know about Krispie Kreem Christie.
