Of Course Jeb Bush Would Have Invaded Iraq! He Signed On To PNAC Six Years Before!By Brandon Turbeville After all, how could anyone suggest that he would have also invaded Iraq despite the fact that there were never any weapons of mass destruction (a term that itself was created by Western governments and their media mouthpieces), that Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11 or al-Qaeda, and that the weakened country posed absolutely no threat to the US? How could anyone suggest that the Iraq invasion was legitimate 12 years on with American forces still involved and the situation on the ground millions of times worse? The answer is simple Jeb Bush had always wanted to invade Iraq. A staunch and longstanding member of the Neo-Con network, Jeb had taken his stand in favor of American imperialism when he signed on to the Project For A New American Centurys Statement of Principles in 1997. Although the Statement of Principles did not specifically advocate for an attack on Iraq, it did argue against the perceived cuts, inattention, and bad leadership of the previous administration despite the fact that Bill Clinton acted as a complete tool of the very same network that encompasses the PNAC. This statement did, however, clearly state that America must challenge regimes hostile to our interests and values, a position that would become realized in an even more obvious and direct manner in the years following its publication. Perhaps most notably, however, is the PNAC document, Rebuilding Americas Defenses, a piece published by the organization in 1999 expressing the desire to destroy regimes in the Middle East that were hostile toward Americas ambitions abroad. The document was also seen as more-than-coincidentally prophetic of 9/11, a new Pearl Harbor style event that was alluded to in the document. Rebuilding Americas Defenses reads, Notably, in this document, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, and North Korea are listed as the most important targets of the transformed US military. It is no coincidence that four of these listed countries were also listed by General Wesley Clark as slated for destruction per classified information he received on a visit to the Pentagon. In 1996, a policy document prepared for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was written by Richard Perle and entitled A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm. In this document Perle, a notorious Neo-Con and fellow member of PNAC with Jeb Bush, described the strategic importance of removing Saddam Hussein from power as well as the necessity to weaken Syria. Perle wrote that Israel can shape its strategic environment, in cooperation with Turkey and Jordan, by weakening, containing, and even rolling back Syria. This effort can focus on removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq an important Israeli strategic objective in its own right as a means of foiling Syrias regional ambitions. PNAC also sent an open letter to President Bill Clinton after a Clinton administration and Western media propaganda campaign presenting Hussein as uncooperative in weapons inspections, calling for Husseins removal from power. Soon after the 9/11 attacks, PNAC sent a letter to President George W. Bush demanding an immediate attack on Iraq, regardless of whether or not there was any evidence linking Hussein to the attacks or al-Qaeda. The letter stated that, With Jeb Bushs ties to PNAC and with his public signature on the organizations Statement of Principles, there can be no doubt that Bush would have invaded Iraq had he been president at the time. There is also no doubt that he is part of the same Neo-Con network that brought us that war, the war in Afghanistan, 9/11, destabilizations, a crippled economy, and a shredded Constitution. A Jeb Bush presidency will no doubt bring about a continuation of those policies witnessed under his brother and those subsequently built upon by Barack Obama.
