Don’t forget John effin Kerry who was on the Senate intelligence committee vetting the intel. If Bush was so dumb how did he get Congress to approve of military action or multiple nations to cooperate? Disclaimer, Bush was not a good president.
The number of ISIS fighters is a contested figure. One side says low, the other side says high. The Kurds say well over 200,000. May be partly definitional. When the ISIS take over territory a large pool of recruits is created. Some may be full time hard core fighters, some may be sympathizers and part time fighters. The core of ISIL and probably the leadership are Saddam dismissed military. As predicted, shock and awe tactics and the killing and maiming of hundreds of thousands of innocent Muslims resulted in many more recruits. One thing is certain, the Bush administration’s engineered invasion of Iraq is the stupidest foreign policy blunder of all time.

Jeb gets a hundred points for his honesty.
Unfortunately for him and his billionaires, his stupidity overwhelms his honesty by a factor of ( ) you can fill in the blank.
It seems kind of odd that few, if any, Fox “news” viewers or Rush devotees have rushed to his defense.

Like they say, the first casualty of war is truth. No side is immune.
