Bush unloads on Obama’s Iran diplomacy, anti-ISIS efforts
Former President George W. Bush reportedly delivered a broadside against his successor's foreign policies in a closed-door meeting over the weekend, ripping the pending Iran nuclear deal in what may be his most direct criticism to date -- as Washington and Tehran resume talks.
Secretary of State John Kerry is meeting Monday with his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif in New York. The U.S. and five world powers are trying to finalize a nuclear deal with Iran by the end of June.
But Bush, according to a report in Bloomberg View, warned that the deal would be bad for U.S. national security. The former president, who rarely criticizes or even comments on the Obama administration in public, was speaking at a closed-door meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition on Saturday in Las Vegas.

I know President Bush is of the opinion that "if you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all," but I'm glad he finally decided to speak out about the miserable failure of a foreign policy Obama is foisting off on the world. OK, now, wait for it ...
Hear that in the distance? It's the "blame Bush" crowd stampeding to this thread to say how awful, terrible, and egregious President Bush's decisions on the Mideast were. Got news for those of you in the stampede: We were far better off with President Bush leading the country. Obama has turned us into a second-class nation, and there is no way to recuperate.
