Former Florida Governor and Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush responded to fellow candidate Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s criticism of his position on the Iran deal by saying “tearing up an agreement’s not a strategy” on Tuesday’s “America’s Newsroom” on the Fox News Channel.
Jeb stated, [relevant remarks begin around 3:30], “Martha, what I said was that we need a strategy, tearing up an agreement’s not a strategy. The strategy needs to contain Iran’s ambitions in the region. We’re going to [give] $100 billion, if this agreement goes through, at least, to be able to continue to be the largest sponsor of terrorism in the world. .....
And so, what I’m saying is, on day one, I’ll have a strategy. And that strategy will be to protect us against what could become the most significant threat that exists in the world.”

Again, Jeb is telling us what CAN’T be done.
Tearing up THIS “agreement” is a pretty damn good strategy!
Sounds like Jeb is under a lot of pressure, because he’s really doubling down on saying stupid things the past few days.
Don't take is as a fait accompli and talk about what you might do in reaction later. Talk about what you want to see done NOW and what you want from Congress NOW to make it easier for you when you take office.
Congress should be running blocking plays now to set up playing field for our candidates' advantage, but Boehner and McConnell are too focused on what might happen if the "wrong" Republican wins. They would rather do nothing if it prevents a Walker or Cruz or Trump from gaining an advantage, even if it hurts the country in the long run.
It seems like Trump and Cruz are trying to influence the Iran deal vote NOW with their upcoming Iran vote rally next week.
That is a strategy. And leadership.

His only shot is Dems voting for him in the primaries.
With Hillary stumbling, there may be competitive Democrat primaries and Op Chaos 2016 goes out the window.
Good God... STHU already, Jeb!
Jeb : if we don’t, then we are shredding the Constitution.
Which do you prefer?
Well, hillary’s democrat strategy IS to have him as “the opoopent”
Calling a treaty an agreement is unAmerican and unconstitutional. People who do that are traitors.
Anyway, this sounded like another candidate (Kerry 2004) who kept saying he had a plan. He had a plan for this and that, but he wouldn’t explain nor elaborate.
And we still haven’t figured out what plan(s) Kerry had in mind fixing Iraq, fixing healthcare, fixing (name any problem du jour here).
Electing JEB would pretty much be Obama’s 3rd term.
**** “Just shut up, Jeb. Tearing up the “treasonous agreement,” is a GOOD start!” *****
Gotta start someplace
BUMP
I thought they were not going to ratify this agreement, but instead approve it with a majority vote. I guess Yeb has never read Gen12:3.
Jeb: “You can’t triple stamp a double stamp, Trump! You can’t triple stamp a double stamp!”
Jeb, what good are you? Defeatist!
Stalin attempted to move troops in, preparatory to invading (how ironic!) Iran.
Truman called up Stalin. "We have the bomb. We're going to drop it on you."
Stalin pulled out in 24 hours.
...fast forward to today.
Only this time, the advantage is even more pronounced.
We have these things called ICBMs.
It'd take about 45 minutes.
Obama is either a coward, or listening to Valerie Wormtongue, or a traitor.
What a pathetic milquetoast president Jeb would be. He is the living breathing embodiment of everything I hate about the GOP.
