Jeb Bush Gives Obama ‘Credit’ On Iran; James Baker’s Influence At Work (April 2015)
Breitbart ^ | 4/8/15 | Joel B Pollak

Posted on 07/18/2015 9:05:57 AM PDT by jimbo123

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) may be “closest to Obama in his view on foreign policy,” as Dr. Charles Krauthammer put it on Tuesday, but he is facing stiff competition from Jeb Bush in that category. The former Florida governor praised Obama’s initial negotiating efforts with Iran on Tuesday, telling an audience in Denver that “we need to give him credit” for “bringing other people along and making it tougher.” The puzzling statement suggests the influence of James A. Baker III on the Bush campaign.

Baker, a former Secretary of State, was the co-chair of the Iraq Study Group in 2006, a policy panel that recommended the U.S. reach out to Iran and Syria and “try to engage them constructively.” Many of the Obama administration’s policies in the Middle East were informed by the Iraq Study Group’s conclusions–which were rejected at the time by President George W. Bush, who proceeded with the “surge” in Iraq that eventually secured the country before Obama’s precipitous pullout.

Bush recently invited Baker to serve as one of his campaign’s senior foreign policy advisers. He did so days before Baker addressed the gala dinner of J Street, a far-left organization that opposes the Israeli government and supports the emerging Iran deal. In his remarks to J Street, Baker blamed Israel for the impasse in peace talks with Palestinians, said that Israel had been too skeptical of talks with Iran, and suggested no future U.S. president would support an Israeli attack on Iran.

A left wing sellout of American safety and security. Complimenting the Enemy Within for seeing to it that the Iranian islamonazis have the ability to destroy their Great Satan USA is not a positive for Bush.

I believe this is his third act of treason, Benghazi, Cuba, and now Iran. He now has Susan Rice out there admitting it.

Corporations(General Electric, Boeing etc..) with interest in doing business in and with Iran will be lining up to do so. This agreement with Iran was just another way the Obama and Jeb Bush business donors could increase their bottom line. My opinion only and I hope I am wrong.

I wouldn't even call him a RINO, he's beyond that. He's a far left radical, more far leftist that Pelosi or even Obama I would say. How many people do you know would be so far left that they would give Hitlery the "Liberty medal" on the one year anniversary of Benghazi as a big F you to the victims families?

JEB BUSH TO AWARD HILLARY 'LIBERTY MEDAL' ON EVE OF BENGHAZI ANNIVERSARY

“Former Secretary Clinton has dedicated her life to serving and engaging people across the world in democracy,” Bush said in a statement. “These efforts as a citizen, an activist, and a leader have earned Secretary Clinton this year’s Liberty Medal.”

"Everyone applaud for me! Aren't I SO awesome?"

Oh, not just the Left, but some FReepers as well. They seem to be more interested in trashing Trump than spending time being critical of the Dem field. It’s a sight to behold!

Really? Really? Don't get carried away. By national standards, Jeb was a relatively conservative governor. If you think "moderate" fits better, fine, but he's still far from radical. He just really, really, really loves everything Mexican.
