JEB! Bush says Paul Wolfowitz is a foreign-policy adviser

(CBS Marketwatch) - Jeb Bush on Friday identified Paul Wolfowitz, one of the architects of the Iraq war, as one of his foreign-policy advisers.

The comment came as the former Florida governor was answering questions at the Iowa State Fair. The question wasn’t audible, but Bush’s reply was.

“Paul Wolfowitz is providing some advice,” he said. “I get most of my advice from a team we have in Miami, Fla.” Wolfowitz had been reported to have been an adviser to Bush, but this is believed to be the first time the Republican presidential candidate spelled that out.

Bush did explain the challenges he has in crafting his own reputation for foreign policy with the team of advisers he has.

“If they have any executive experience, they have had to deal with two Republican administrations,” he said. With a smile, he asked: “Who were the people that were presidents the last two Republican administrations?”

The last two Republican presidents were, of course, his brother George W. Bush and his father George H.W. Bush. Read more.
