Madeleine Albright Slams Jeb Bush For Blaming Obama For The ISIS Rise

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush is on a spree to fool people into believing that President Obama and Hillary Clinton should be blamed for ISIS/ISIL/Daesh in the Middle East, according to occupydemocrats.

Recently, he said, at the Iowa State Fair, that "ISIS didn't exist" when George W. Bush was in office, and that it was Obama's "decision" to pull out of Iraq in 2011.

Both are lies.

So the former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright says. Jeb Bush was taken to task by one fact checker who knows her stuff, the former Secretary of State Madeline Albright., said ifyouonlynews.

In an op-ed for Politico, she is vociferous in her attack on Jeb, calling him a liar:

 "Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush's brazen attempts to rewrite history in a series of campaign appearances last week cannot go unchallenged. By blaming President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for the rise of ISIL, Governor Bush is clearly seeking to absolve his brother's administration of responsibility for today's problems in Iraq. This argument may serve Governor Bush's political interests, but it does a disservice to the truth."

So it is clear that Jeb Bush is not only the liar that he is blaming Obama of being, but is also trying to fool everyone.

Albright explains that ISIS was born after the 2003 invasion of Iraq, after President Bush invaded it and unseated Saddam Hussein, banishing the military.

There are so many members of the group that belonged al Qeada. George Bush had actually "negotiated our pull-out date" after which President Obama could not remain in Iraq which refused to grant US soldiers immunity from prosecution.

She points out that Jeb Bush calls ISIS members as "Islamic terrorists," which is offensive to a religion. Bush is trying to lap his Islamophobic GOP base.

She then gives the president and Hillary Clinton credit for the gains we have made in the Middle East: "Words matter in the world of diplomacy, and so does leadership. The reputation of the United States was severely damaged during President' Bush's administration. Today, America's place in the world is far stronger than it was in 2009 thanks to the leadership of President Obama and former Secretary Clinton. They renewed alliances, relentlessly pursued our terrorist enemies, and forged international coalitions on Iran sanctions and on the fight against climate change. That's a laudable record of achievement---one that needs no re-writes."

President Obama and Hillary Clinton have tried to keep diplomatic relations with the Middle East on an even keel. Though the Republicans never supported his efforts, they are even trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes by spreading lies.

Former Secretary of State Albright concludes her op-ed by explaining why it is so important to call Jeb out for his lies: "The United States cannot afford another President Bush who blinds himself to global reality and who forges ahead into chaos. Americans deserve a president who will acknowledge the past and will forge a better future."
