A college student told likely GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush on Wednesday that his brother, former President George W. Bush, was to blame for the rise of the Islamic State.
The heated confrontation took place at a town hall meeting in Reno, Nevada, according to The New York Times. Ivy Ziedrich, 19, a student at the University of Nevada, approached the former Florida governor to question him about comments he had made during the event. Bush had argued that the Obama administration's weak foreign policy was responsible for the rise of the terrorist group, also known as ISIS, in the Middle East.
Ziedrich countered that Obama wasn't to blame -- and that it was his predecessor's decision to disband the Iraqi army that made the group's formation possible.
"Your brother created ISIS," she told Bush.
What followed was a contentious exchange, according to the Times. Ziedrich accused Bush of "spouting nationalist rhetoric to get us involved in more wars," pointing out that under his brother, the U.S. had spent years in the Middle East, waging "pointless wars where we send young American men to die for the idea of American exceptionalism."
Bush responded by defending the war in Iraq. "When we left Iraq, security had been arranged, al Qaeda had been taken out," he said. "There was a fragile system that could have been brought up to eliminate the sectarian violence."

I totally agree! The student is 100% correct. Jeb can't escape the truth. In fact, the ISIS mess can even be traced back to former President George H.W. Bush when he suckered Saddam into invading Kuwait.
The fact that you believe Saddam never had WMD despite the fact that he killed hundreds of thousands of Kurds with WMD proves you are an idiot.
As if further proof was needed.

Saddam simply gassed a few Kurds who were trying to topple him - with gas provided by President Reagan. What's the big deal?

ISIS started in Syria thanks to Obama's backing of the Syrian rebels.... another dumbfuck liberal who doesn't know here asshole from a buttonhole.
Booooooossshhhhhhhh....
This kid was about six years old when the Iraq war started. At 19 he's still wet behind the ears

Yet she seems to see the problem a lot more clearly than Most Republicans do.
Seriously, how can anyone think a THIRD Bush Presidency is a good idea?
A few? It's estimated it was 50,000 --180,000, you stupid son of a bitch.

Oh, most Kurds that were slaughtered by Saddam were slaughtered with bullets, not gas. And frankly, no one had a problem with it. Not the Reagan Administration, which kept selling weapons to Saddam and kept saying he was a guy we could work with.
Your fallacy is believing I think Jeb Bush is presidential. Back up, regroup and try again. Oh and your new little moon bat darling is simply a victim of progressive education aka indoctrination. She will enter the real world and think differently and if not she will end up as you are, dumber than a sack of hammers
Dude, sit down, you're sort of the board idiot and I DO NOT take you serious

Actually, I was pretty right wing until 2008 and Bush fucked everything up.
But here's the thing. the GOP establishment will FORCE Bush into the nomination, and you will be on here singing his praises because Hillary scares the pants off of you.
As bad as Jeb is, he's probably more presidential than anyone else in the GOP Clown Car.

You don't know the difference between an adverb and an adjective, and you think anyone takes you "serious(ly)" ?
