In Rare Remarks, George W. Bush Argues Against the Lifting of Iran Sanctions

LAS VEGAS — Former President George W. Bush said the United States must show that it can follow through on its promises, and argued against the lifting of sanctions against Iran during rare remarks about foreign policy in a meeting with hundreds of Jewish donors here Saturday night.

Mr. Bush told the 700 donors attending a closed-door Republican Jewish Coalition spring meeting that he would not criticize President Obama, whose aim to degrade and ultimately destroy the Islamic State he applauded. But the former president nevertheless offered comments that many in the audience viewed as a tacit critique of his successor.

Aren't you aware that the GOP likes to pretend you don't exist so they can blame everything on Obama? Quit ruining their delusion.

If Idiot Bush is for sanctions on Iran you can take it to the bank that it is not the right move. Keep on talkin' Junior we need more of your opinions.
