Jeb could have never won. The American people will never forgive the Bush family for its unholy involvement with the Saudis, not holding the Saudis accountable for 9/11, silly pronouncements about Islam being the religion of peace and for the disastrous invasion of Iraq. That resulted in three thousand dead young Americans, tens of thousands more physically and psychologically maimed, trillions of dollars squandered and the subsequent election of the vile Obama. It wasn’t Trump that destroyed Jeb, it was the weight of the Bush legacy.

You go on and on and completely miss the obvious reason American voters would never elect Jeb as President. The idea of THREE Bush Presidents, for Godsake, was completely ridiculous from the start.

I’m still STUNNED that he had so many donors. The very concept, from the outset, was absurd.

Trump did not destroy Jeb, it was the horrific Bush legacy. Americans will never forgive GWB/s disastrous invasion of Iraq.....three thousand young Americans dead, tens of thousands physically and psychologically maimed, trillions of US treasure squandered, vengeful Muslim armies coming here to kill us......all of it enabling the election of the vile Obama....not to mention the Bushies aiding the rise of the nefarious Clintons.

Jeb Bush/s flop means New World Order and Big Government Republicanism are also in steep decline...... yet another indication the party is returning to the federalism of Ronald Reagan, to American conservatism.

A neocon periodical recently called Trumpism a "virus" b/c he questioned the Iraq War and said GWB "lied" ....

Bush is dead but the neoocons never say die. Let/s understand that neocons are political whores....they will get in bed w/ pols of any persuasion in order to achieve their own self-serving ends. Keep in mind these people do NOTHING that is in the best interests of the US....they have their own self-serving agenda.

Let's go back to the nauseating beginning: the political buzz was GWB met w/ neocons BEFORE his election; the deal was to invade Iraq and also included a catbird seat for the pukeneos in the WH Office of Special Ops (created just for the pukes, financed by US taxpayers).

Colin Powell asserts in his new book...."there would have been no Iraq war" had then-Pres GWB and his councilors (neocons) understood that Hussein did not possess any functioning unconventional weapons. Powell lauded the fact that under Bush we got rid of the horrific Hussein government and toppled the Taliban regime in Afghanistan....."

Which just goes to show neocons FORGOT to advise GWB about the fervid Mideast mindset. Its thousand-year-old sectarian internecine warfare was kept in check by strongmen like Saddam and Khadafi. Now these savages are marauding all over Europe.....and are coming here to kill us for what we did in Iraq.

POINTS TO PONDER

<><> Powell never mentions the conniving Mideast types calculated the advantage of having a superpower in their midst....and they cashed in bigtime.

<><> The US gamely decided to train the indigenous population....it cost us billions and we managed to train 4-5, or so, over five years.

<><> In the US we take them off the farm, send them to boot camp, and in 3 weeks we got battle-ready soldiers.

<><> The Bank of Kabul where the CIA and DOD deposited billions to finance the war was a withdrawal-only goldmine for insiders.

<><> For public consumption, GWB was prompted to say we went into Iraq to introduce them to the advantages of democracy and to get all warm and cuddly as they embraced it.

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

Remember this Colin? The war profiteering was outrageous. Neocon godfather Richard Perle relaxing in Paris (above the fray---nowhere near his cohorts plotting in the WH Office of Special Ops) got so rich w/ insider info, he was reported to be starting his own oil company.

<><> One last thing, Colin.....neocons duped GWB into believing the Iraq strike would cost $50-60 billion. Then an angry Bush fired advisor Larry Lindsey because Lindsay dared to say the war might cost more like $100 billion.

That was in 2007 dollars.

FAST FORWARD TO TODAY Iraq and Afghanistan today have cost the US some $3 TRILLION....and rivers of young blood. We/re still pouring US tax dollars into those decrepit Mideast countries, and..... as Donald says....the US got NOTHING in return.

BTW, look who controls most of the Iraqui oil fields today.

Could THIS be what the calculating neocons are after (/snix)?
