Jeb Bush was left grasping for a response when a student challenged him during a meeting by declaring: "Your brother created Isis".
Mr Bush, the former governor of Florida and sibling of George W. Bush, was wrapping up a town-hall style discussion when Ivy Ziedrich, a 19-year-old student at the University of Nevada, commanded his attention by asking him to take a student question.
Her question revolved around a claim he made earlier in the meeting that America's retreat from the Middle East under the Obama administration was in part responsible for the rapid rise of the Isis terror group.
Ms Ziedrich lay the blame at George W. Bush's feet following on from his decision to disband the Iraqi Army, according to the The New York Times.
"It was when 30,000 individuals who were part of the Iraqi military were forced out — they had no employment, they had no income, and they were left with access to all of the same arms and weapons," Ms Ziedrich told him.
"Your brother created Isis."

Victim blaming is now the favorite US past-time.

I’d prefer to retain my opinion on why we choose to go after Saddam....and all that entailed why that decision was made.
BTW Islam never has stopped killing Christians.
This is why the GOP’s 2016 chances get worse every month this crony RINO remains a potential candidate.
Don’t get suckered into defending Jeb...
That’s EXACTLY what the like libs want us to do, spend our precious energy defending this worthless RINO traitor and his grievous family baggage.
They’d LOVE to spend the next year constantly reminding America about the Iraq war and JEB’s older brother and opening old wounds...
Yes let’s fight to keep this loser alive so he can gracefully lose to Hillary like they want.
A very simple explanation by Bush in roughly thirty words would have deflated her argument. Unfortunate though that he was unprepared.....I’m putting him in the same category as the 2012 Rick Perry-character. Rick was totally unprepared and never got any respect. Bush will be finished by the sixth state primary.
> Dumb bitch...Obama created ISIS.
I guess she doesn’t understand that there have been Muslim terrorists that go back centuries. The weapons / tools and some of the tactics may have changed but the ideology and thought process is all the same. She’s just another parrot that can’t think independently.
“If the Rats want to knock Jeb out now, then I say be my guest, they’re doing us a favor.”
Amen! That man offends me every time he speaks. Worse yet, he’s so cocksure in his ignorance.
BTW Islam never has stopped killing Christians.
Ironically, Saddam protected the Christians in Iraq, from the Shiites. It was after he was toppled that the killing of Christians started. Don’t believe. Google killing of Christians in Iraq. The timeline is no secret, there have been lots of stories by the Catholic News Service and various other reliable sources, starting back in 2004.
I think we can walk the historical cock ups enabling the creation of ISIS back a little farther..........to the time of peanut brain.
Bush should have said that his brother didn’t write the Koran.
Let me just say you and I will not be in agreement.
What’s happening in the Middle East and Iraq is a far greater and larger picture then just Saddam/Iraq.....and we’ll leave it at that. And it’s equally much greater than the plight of Christians living there....which have not and never will be “safe” in the ME.
I would guess that the roots go back further than that. The reason it has been getting out of hand lately is because Obama is either one of history's worst strategic planners or he wants things to go poorly for our side. I am not sure if it is one or the other or both.

Whether we want Jeb Bush as the candidate or not, the truth is...
This was just an annoying, know-it-all teenager who said she wanted to “ask a question,” but really she wanted to talk nonstop and not let someone respond.
Sorry, that was the wrong link.
Here’s the whole exchange:

If this THING of a female is representative of today’s ‘woman’, I think I’ll go gay. What a rude, condescending POS she is. Is she aiming for George Soros’ EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH?
Yep. ISIS is pure Islam, without the restraints just as the Quran calls for.
