Jeb Bush Won't Talk About His Brother's Misguided Wars

Much like was the case with Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush's quest for the White House has a strong sense of entitlement to it.  He's a Bush, and therefore, he should have what he wants.  Never mind the disasters his idiot brother and his evil Vice President brought down on the country.  Or the financial meltdown that the anything goes policies of the GOP helped rain down on America and much of the world.  Yet, like a petulant child, Jeb pouts and says  "I won't talk about the past."  If he will not talk about the past, how do we know he won't make the same mistakes as were made in the past?  A piece in Huffington Post looks at Jeb Bush's refusal to talk about the fool's errands that were launched by his brother.  Here are highlights:

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) has no interest in "re-litigating" the costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan which began under his brother's administration.

"I won't talk about the past," Bush said at a Friday press conference when asked how he would have handled the conflicts differently, according to The Washington Post. "I'll talk about the future. If I'm in the process of considering the possibility of running, it's not about re-litigating anything in the past. It's about trying to create a set of ideas and principles that will help us move forward."

The governor, who is almost certain to jump into the 2016 race, said that instead he would focus on a positive vision for the country that revolved around the future. He will elaborate on that vision when he delivers what his aides are describing as a major foreign policy address in Chicago next week.

It's unlikely Bush will be able to avoid the subject for long. Democrats are already pointing to his brother's legacy, which has left U.S. forces in the Middle East more than a decade after their initial deployment. Both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars remain unpopular -- with a 2013 poll finding majorities that said the campaigns were not worth the tremendous sacrifice. Some Republicans, too, are likely to criticize Bush over the matter. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), another would-be presidential candidate with libertarian leanings, has spoken out against false pretenses used to justify the war.

In my view, Jeb is a spoiled, arrogant ass.
