Jeb Bush: Cruz's Call To Carpet Bomb ISIS Is 'Foolish'

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on Sunday blasted fellow Republican candidate Ted Cruz Sunday for proposing a saturation bombing campaign against territory controlled by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

Bush warned the strategy would be a particularly bad idea in cities, such as Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, which is controlled by ISIS. "There are 800,000 people who live in Mosul. There's probably 5,000 Islamic terrorists who control the place. We're going to destroy 800,000 lives with a carpet-bombing activity? This is foolish. It is absolutely foolish. And he had to back away from it," Bush said on CBS's "Face the Nation."

Bush said Cruz's comments on bombing were "clumsy."

Jeb doesn’t even know what Cruz really said. Not too bright.

Hanoi got over it.

Because he doesn’t have sense enough to be embarrassed for himself,
I’m embarrassed for him.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

LOL. That’s a great response.

There’s probably 5,000 Islamic terrorists who control the place. .............. LOL, if 5,000 can control Iraq and Syria, just think what 100,000 could do here.

This is the shadow h campaign. While she’s of doing who will ever know what at the dem debate, she’s got bush running interference whatotgerexplanation for his showing his losing face on every other headline two Otha after he should have dropped out?

Go to google earth. Raqqa hasn’t been touched yet.

We haven’t been fighting ISIS at all. Russia is actually fighting and that’s why we want them out.

[CatherineofAragon]

Do you agree with Jeb or with Cruz?

Jebbie, stop throwing crap against the wall hoping someone notices. Go home to mama, you will never be president.

[BenLurkin]

We're going to destroy 800,000 lives with a carpet-bombing activity?

Curtis Lemay's final count was possibly right around that much.

[BerryDingle]

We haven’t been fighting ISIS at all.

A dead giveaway is there are no reporters over there at all. The media shows that machine firing over a wall whenever the ISIS subject comes up for about 2 years now.

Naw Yeb. We dont have to carpet bomb the place. Remember Japan at the end of WW2?

Cheaper.

[piytar]

Yeb, you are a moron. If you were President during WWII, the Nazis would have won.

[piytar]

Die. Badly. At least in Texas. Sadly, many innocents would die at the jihadists’ hands before (and likely even after) we get to “Cowboys and Jihadists.”

[FlingWingFlyer]

It sure beats importing them into my country to “contain” them.

[Kickass Conservative]

At this point, anyone giving Bush a Dollar is Foolish.

[EGPWS]

Jeb is just trying to ignite his campaign for the 47th time.
