Why, I Could Be Every Bit as Big A War Criminal as My Brother, George.

And they say Jeb's the bright one.

The presumed Republican presidential nomination candidate, former Florida governor Jeb Bush, said if he'd been in George w's boots, he'd have also ordered the invasion of Iraq.

“I would have [authorised the invasion], and so would have Hillary Clinton, just to remind everybody,” Bush told Fox News television in an interview to be aired late on Monday. “And so would almost everybody that was confronted with the intelligence they got.”

Of course Jeb conveniently overlooks that the "intelligence" was a compendium of fiction ginned up by his brother's administration.  He also seems to have forgotten that the teams of UN weapons inspectors under Hans Blix scoured every potential WMD site the Americans could think of and reported there was nothing to be found.

Jeb also seems to have left out the part about how he's surrounding himself with many of the same advisers who so ably assisted George w. Bush to build a phony casus belli against Iraq.

Wherein George Sets Out to Save the Jews From Themselves

He's baaaack.  George w. Bush is taking the stage to help bring Jews to Jesus.  Curious George is joining the effort to save Jews from themselves.

Next week, former President George W. Bush is scheduled to keynote a fundraiser in Irving, Texas, for the Messianic Jewish Bible Institute, a group that trains people in the United States, Israel, and around the world to convince Jews to accept Jesus as the Messiah. The organization's goal: to "restore" Israel and the Jews and bring about about the second coming of Christ.

Messianic Jews have long been controversial for Jews of all major denominations, who object to their proselytizing efforts and their message that salvation by Jesus is consistent with Jewish theology. Last year, Abraham Foxman, president of the Anti-Defamation League, told Politico that former Sen. Rick Santorum's appearance at an event hosted by another Messianic Jewish organization, the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America, was "insensitive and offensive." And Commentary magazine, which bills itself as a "conservative American journal of politics, Judaism, social and cultural issues," noted, "it must be understood that the visceral distaste that the overwhelming majority of Jews have for the Messianics is not to be taken lightly." Many Messianic Jews are Christians who have adopted aspects of Jewish ritual observance; others are Jews who share the Christian belief that Jesus is the Messiah.

Asked about Bush's upcoming appearance at the Messianic Jewish Bible Institute (MJBI) event, Rabbi David Saperstein, the director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, said, "It's disappointing that he would give his stamp of approval to a group whose program is an express effort to convert Jews and not to accept the validity of the Jewish covenant." Foxman was traveling overseas and unavailable to comment.
