Daniel Larison — Jeb Bush and Regime Change


When trying to pin down what Jeb Bush thinks about regime change in Iran, it is useful to review what the former governor has said about this in the past.…. 
Because Bush now pretends not to have a position on U.S. support for regime change in Iran, it is even more important to remember what he was saying on this subject just a few years ago.

Also
The former Florida governor hasn’t yet signed on to regime change in Iran, which suggests his foreign policy just might be more like Ronald Reagan’s than Tom Cotton’s.

Jeb's neocon credentials are impeccable. Has he left the fold? Inquiring mind would like to know. Ted Cruz is going to rip apart any candidate that doesn't forthrightly state his position on key issues. Jeb had better get a story straight fast.

The Bush family has strong ties to the Sauds and to the oil industry. If you are in the oil business, you don't want Iranian oil flooding the already weak market. The last thing you want is peace in the Mid East.
