AMHERST, N.H. (AP) — A fiery Jeb Bush defended his foreign policy strategies Saturday in the face of criticism from a Donald Trump supporter who showed up at one of Bush's town hall meetings.
Christopher Mazerall, a town chairman for Trump's New Hampshire campaign, said he decided to come by Bush's event on his way to make calls for Trump's presidential bid.
"You're willing to engage in a world war with Russia over foreign interests in Syria," Mazerall told Bush from the crowd. "How is that not treason?" His assertion centered on Bush's call for the U.S. to support a no-fly zone in Syria, where Russia is engaged in the country's years-long civil war.
"The no-fly zone, in my mind, should send a signal to Russia we're back in the game," Bush replied
Trump has the mainstream political position.
Remember when that guy tried to arrest McCain for supporting ISIS?
Fiery? I thought he didn’t care.
Jeb is weak...
...Jeb is weak...
And it’s easy to call for a no fly zone and never be elected to do it. No fly sounds balsy but it would push Putin against the wall and he probably wouldn’t back down due to the weak position Zer0 has put the USA in.
Well, I feel much safer now that Bush has declared causing WW3 to be a game that he is willing to play.
An earlier article showed a pic that Jeb looked totally bewildered by the question.
We will be siding with and providing air cover for ISIS if that happens.
Syria invited Russia and Iran to help them with ISIS, and not us. Russia is kicking ISIS’s butt. Hence all the migration that really began when Russia went to war with ISIS.
For the record, the United States cannot just declare a no fly zone over any country it wants.
There is no nation threat from Syria towards the United States.
We do not want to be ISIS Air Force and provide them air cover from Russia, Syria and Iran.
Americans should not die in Syria so that Saudi Arabia can build a natural gas pipeline. Let Saudi Arabia invade with their own people.
I keep in mind that this is almost in Putin’s backyard.
Jeb is an idiot.
We elect him all we will get is endless war and deficits that bankrupt future generations.
Thank goodness this clown only has a 3% support.
Yeb! should go do all those cool things he would rather be doing........
“Americans should not die in Syria so that Saudi Arabia can build a natural gas pipeline. Let Saudi Arabia invade with their own people.”
Absolutely right! Boosh’s brother cost us blood and treasure over Iraq, a teeming $hit hole that should have been left alone with Saddam. But “W” had a score to settle with Saddam for “trying to kill his daddy,” so we pi$$ed away young lives and a lot of money we didn’t have “to make things right for the Booshes.”
I don’t want another Bush in charge of foreign policy.
