Jeb Bush delivered a thoughtful and clear-eyed speech on Tuesday about the threat posed by ISIS and radical Islamic terrorism. It was a forward-looking speech that offered a compelling strategy to deal with this growing threat (something we haven’t heard from Hillary Clinton).

Bush’s speech also looked back at the history of the violence in Syria and Iraq that brought us to this point, as well as at the role Iran has played in fueling terrible conflicts that have given rise to ISIS.

As governor of Florida, Jeb Bush had no more role in the decision to go to war in Iraq than did Barack Obama–and far less of a role than then-Senator Hillary Clinton, who voted for it–he deserves credit for acknowledging the flawed intelligence that led us into war, and the military and strategic missteps that kept us at war for longer than any of us expected or wanted.
