“I’m my own man,” declared Jeb Bush during his Feb. 18 speech to the
Chicago Council on Global Affairs, attempting to distance himself from
the stench of his father’s and brother’s records. He failed to do so.

Even before the core of his speech, ostensibly devoted to his
“principles,” Bush established his pedigree by launching into an attack
on Iran. “We definitely no longer inspire fear in our enemies,” he
declared—as if that is a goal in foreign policy. (It is for PNAC and the
neo-cons.) He then attacked negotiations with Iran, insisting—as if he
were Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—that Iran should not have
the right, ensured by international treaty, to nuclear enrichment. He
called for Congress to enact more sanctions against Iran in advance, to
be implemented if negotiations fail, as indeed they would under his
conditions.

Bush’s speech in Chicago, a traditional venue for the roll-out of
significant initiatives, such as that by Tony Blair against the Treaty
of Westphalia in 1999, was accompanied by his announcement of a team of
foreign policy advisors. As was immediately pointed out by many, 19 of
the 21 people named had been part of the administrations of his father
and brother, and who wrote the doctrines underlying the drive for
superpower confrontation, which has currently brought us to the edge of
world war.

Credit for assembling the team was given to Council on Foreign Relations
(CFR) President Richard Haass and former World Bank chief, George W.
Bush advisor, and endorser of PNAC, Robert Zoellick.
