my point is view is he s not offering leadership. there is no strategy against isis, against the russians. is that a political decision or just doesn t have it? i think it s partially politics but partially his view is you lead from behind. you don t make tough decisions. i don t want to be george w. bush ii. i don t want to be a cowboy. i got the nobel peace prize for not being george bush. i don t want to be a war president. i have got out of iraq and afghanistan. i m mr. peace. that s what he thinks. right. and isis will take care of itself over time. jv. and the russians are in a quagmire in syria. iraq s foreign minister is raising his hand. he s right. and then come back, dr. ben carson, looking for some foreign policy credentials, well, maybe. he s visiting refugee camps in jordan. it has been a sticking point and criticism. we will ask how he is doing on this front. fox news political insiders are coming back and they want to talk to you on twitter and

z the big question about this is, and we all have our opinions, how did we get here with barack obama as president of the united states who ran, in effect, against george w. bush and what had happened for eight years? he has morphed into george w. bush ii. and john kerry is donald ru rumsfeld and they have created another wave of anger about national intelligence, should we go to war in a country that is not a threat to us? we re back in 2002 all over again, only this time it s a liberal democrat who is ticking off everybody, and the republican leadership up on capitol hill is on his side. just like the democratic leadership 12 years ago was with george w. bush. and the two parties are fracturing between the base and the leadership. you talk about the parties fracturing, we know
met a dumber man. all these people who served in the bush administration blame douglas fe for everything. rick perry called douglas fife and had him advise him on foreign policy. he also has called donald rumsfeld, as well as the guy that was fired at guantanamo when he read the list of law firms. he sort of is scraping the bottom of the barrel of disgraced george w. bush former staffers to give him advice on foreign policy. what do you read into that? well, i think you can read something about, shall we say, rick perry s awareness of current affairs on the national scale. i mean, you know, he is the governor of texas. he s got his choice basically. if you re governor of texas, you can convene respectable and knowledgeable advisers about any subject that you want.
about his capacity for higher office. picking those bush advisors and being a governor from texas after the last republican governor from texas, would that put the republican party in the position of finally sort of having to reckon with the legacy of george w. bush and the bush economy and whether or not they like it or they were going to keep running from it the way they have for the last couple of cycles? george w. who? what legacy? they have spent three years running away from george w. bush s legacy as fast and hard as they can. because after all, they denounced him as not a real republican. you know, he ran up the deficit. and he got us in all these foreign involvements. the tea party people are suspicious about. in fact, a lot of tea party people don t like the patriot act and all that stuff he did. so, look, the last thing republicans want is for people to look at their candidate and see george w. bush ii.
