Jeb Reacts to Paris Attack: ‘This Is a War Being Created by Islamic Terrorists’

Jeb Bush appeared with Hugh Hewitt on his radio show to talk about the Paris attacks tonight, and the Republican candidate said, “This is a war being created by Islamic terrorists.”

He said the United States needs the mindset to “recognize it for what it is”: an “organized effort to destroy Western civilization.”

Bush told Hewitt that the United States needs to do more to “engage in the Middle East to take our ISIS, which is the wellspring… of this kind of activity.”

And even if it’s not ISIS, Bush concluded, “this is the war of our time, and we have to be serious and engaging in creating a strategy to confront it and take it out.”
