== On Iraq ==
In an interview with Fox News in May of 2015, Bush said he would have authorized the use of force in Iraq.

“I would have [authorized the invasion], and so would have Hillary Clinton, just to remind everybody. And so would almost everybody that was confronted with the intelligence they got.”

Bush did admit that mistakes were made:

“By the way, guess who thinks that those mistakes took place as well? George W. Bush,” Jeb Bush said. “Yes, I mean, so just for the news flash to the world, if they’re trying to find places where there’s big space between me and my brother, this might not be one of those.”[[http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/05/10/exclusive-jeb-bush-says-hillary-clinton-would-have-backed-iraq-invasion/]]

"I'm not going to go out of my way to say that my brother did this wrong or my dad did this wrong," Bush added. "It's just not going to happen." [[http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_GOP_2016_BUSH?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2015-05-16-13-38-34]]

After on outcry over his professed support for the Iraq War, Bush tried to walk back his comments, saying he misinterpreted the question. A few days later he completely reversed himself, stating ""Here's the deal: If we're all supposed to answer hypothetical questions, knowing what we know now, what would you have done, I would have not engaged. I would not have gone into Iraq." [[http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/jeb-bush-now-says-i-would-not-have-gone-iraq-n358966]]

Bush took a different approach early on when the invasion was starting. Speaking to Florida reporters in 2003, Jeb Bush said about Iraq: "I know [George W. Bush] is doing what he thinks is right, and I concur with him.” [[http://thinkprogress.org/election/2015/02/18/3624114/people-lied-iraq-now-charge-jeb-bushs-foreign-policy/]]

“I have never disagreed with [George W. Bush]… ‘til death do us part." (CNN interview from 2010 with former President George W. Bush) [[http://thinkprogress.org/election/2015/02/18/3624114/people-lied-iraq-now-charge-jeb-bushs-foreign-policy/]]

“History will be kind to my brother [on Iraq] the further out you get from this and the more people compare his tenure to what’s going on now." Jeb Bush in an NBC interview from 2013. [[http://thinkprogress.org/election/2015/02/18/3624114/people-lied-iraq-now-charge-jeb-bushs-foreign-policy/]]

== On Climate Change ==
Responding to the Pope's call for action on climate change. [[http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/jeb-bush-calls-out-pope-francis-climate-change]]
“The climate is changing and I’m concerned about that,” Bush responded. “But to be honest with you, I’m more concerned about the hollowing out of our country, the hollowing out of our industrial core, the hollowing out of our ability to compete in an increasingly competitive world.”

“The climate is changing and I’m concerned about that,” Bush responded. “But to be honest with you, I’m more concerned about the hollowing out of our country, the hollowing out of our industrial core, the hollowing out of our ability to compete in an increasingly competitive world.”[[https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=jeb%20bush%20on%20climate%20change]] 2015 interview.

==On the Iraq War==
[[Iraq Had WMDs]]

"We can make the case that it is obvious that Saddam Hussein continues this buildup of weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons. But we are not the ones who are forcing this issue. The President of the United States in this resolution is not forcing the issue. It is Saddam Hussein who is forcing this issue." (10/8/2002) [http://web.archive.org/web/20080926092526/http://authforce.liberatedtext.org/021008/cr08oc02-142_01.html]

[[Iraqis Will Welcome Liberation]]

"Look, we're going to send young men and women in harm's way and that's always a great danger, but I cannot believe that there is an Iraqi soldier who is going to be willing to die for Saddam Hussein, particularly since he will know that our objective is to remove Saddam Hussein from power." (9/15/2002)

"Absolutely. Absolutely," in response to Chris Matthews, "you believe that the people of Iraq or at least a large number of them will treat us as liberators?" (3/12/2003). [http://www.blogforarizona.com/blog/2010/09/john-mccains-greatest-hits-wrong-on-iraq.html]

[[Iraq War Will be Easy...Or Maybe Not]]

“I believe that success will be fairly easy.”(9/24/2002, CNN)[http://www.accuracy.org/release/1674-mccain-consistent-on-iraq-war/]

"We're not going to get into house-to-house fighting in Baghdad. We may have to take out buildings, but we're not going to have a bloodletting of trading American bodies for Iraqi bodies. ... I don't think it's, quote, 'easy,' but I believe that we can win an overwhelming victory in a very short period of time." (11/29/2002, CNN) [http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=330]

“The American people … were led to believe that this would be some kind of a day at the beach which many of us, uh, fully understood from the very beginning would be a very, very difficult undertaking.”
– John McCain (8/22/2006, CNN)

“I knew it was probably going to be long and hard and tough. And those that voted for it and thought that somehow it was going to be some kind of an easy task, then I’m sorry they were mistaken. Maybe they didn’t know what they were voting for.”
– John McCain (1/4/2007, MSNBC) [http://www.accuracy.org/release/1674-mccain-consistent-on-iraq-war/]

[[Mission Accomplished?]]

"Well, then why was there a banner that said mission accomplished on the aircraft carrier?" responding to assertion by Fox News' Neil Cavuto that "many argue the conflict isn't over." (6/11/2003)

"I have said a long time that reconstruction of Iraq would be a long, long, difficult process, but the conflict -- the major conflict is over, the regime change has been accomplished, and it's very appropriate."

[[Being Against Egyptian Revolution]]

"This virus is spreading throughout the Middle East.... This, I would argue, is probably the most dangerous period of history in—of our entire involvement in the Middle East, at least in modern times. Israel is in danger of being surrounded by countries that are against the very existence of Israel, are governed by radical organizations.” (2/2/2011, Fox News) [http://ontherecord.foxnews.mobi/quickPage.html?page=25657&content=47864221&pageNum=-1]

“This revolution,” he said, “is a repudiation of Al Qaeda. This revolution has shown the people of the world, not just in the Arab world, that peaceful change can come about and violence and extremism is not required in order to achieve democracy and freedom." (3/2/2011) [http://www.commondreams.org/view/2011/03/02-16]

== Vote on authorization of the use of force in Iraq ==
McCain voted yes on the authorization of the use of force in Iraq [[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-love/who-voted-to-authorize-fo_b_85652.html]]

== On Torture ==

From a floor speech in 2014. [http://www.mccain.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2014/12/floor-statement-by-sen-mccain-on-senate-intelligence-committee-report-on-cia-interrogation-methods]

“I know from personal experience that the abuse of prisoners will produce more bad than good intelligence. I know that victims of torture will offer intentionally misleading information if they think their captors will believe it. I know they will say whatever they think their torturers want them to say if they believe it will stop their suffering. Most of all, I know the use of torture compromises that which most distinguishes us from our enemies, our belief that all people, even captured enemies, possess basic human rights, which are protected by international conventions the U.S. not only joined, but for the most part authored.

“I know, too, that bad things happen in war. I know in war good people can feel obliged for good reasons to do things they would normally object to and recoil from.

“I understand the reasons that governed the decision to resort to these interrogation methods, and I know that those who approved them and those who used them were dedicated to securing justice for the victims of terrorist attacks and to protecting Americans from further harm. I know their responsibilities were grave and urgent, and the strain of their duty was onerous.

“I respect their dedication and appreciate their dilemma. But I dispute wholeheartedly that it was right for them to use these methods, which this report makes clear were neither in the best interests of justice nor our security nor the ideals we have sacrificed so much blood and treasure to defend.

“The knowledge of torture’s dubious efficacy and my moral objections to the abuse of prisoners motivated my sponsorship of the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005, which prohibits ‘cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment’ of captured combatants, whether they wear a nation’s uniform or not, and which passed the Senate by a vote of 90-9.

== On Climate Change ==

"Today I’d like to focus on just one of those challenges, and among environmental dangers it is surely the most serious of all. Whether we call it “climate change” or “global warming,” in the end we’re all left with the same set of facts. The facts of global warming demand our urgent attention, especially in Washington. Good stewardship, prudence, and simple commonsense demand that we to act meet the challenge, and act quickly. Some of the most compelling evidence of global warming comes to us from NASA. No longer do we need to rely on guesswork and computer modeling, because satellite images reveal a dramatic disappearance of glaciers, Antarctic ice shelves and polar ice sheets." From a speech in 2008[[http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2008/05/12/172199/mccain-climate-speech/]]

In an interview about Climate Change legislation in 2014, McCain said: "There’s going to be no movement in the Congress of the United States certainly this year and probably next year. So I just leave the issue alone because I don’t see a way through it, and there are certain fundamentals, for example nuke power, that people on the left will never agree with me on. So why should I waste my time when I know the people on the left are going to reject nuclear power? I don’t believe that you can really succeed in reducing greenhouse gases unless you have a lot of nuclear power plants. They’re against them. Well, okay, I move on to other issues."[[http://www.climatedepot.com/2014/03/03/sen-john-mccain-on-climate-change-i-just-leave-the-issue-alone-because-i-dont-see-a-way-through-it/]]

We hope that prior articles can be rescued from the prior, corrupted, database and imported to this installation.

For now the documentation starts afresh. We suggest:

#* Or by searching for a topic and starting a page on that topic from the results page if no existing article is found.
#* ('''As more articles populate this wiki, this will be preferred and the home page may take a different form.''')
# Please name things concisely and accurately and consider making new pages if your area of contribution wanders.
# Use the "Discussion" tab to add notes with questions, suggestions, and leads that are not complete thoughts for a given page.
# Familiarize yourself with the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents Medawiki documentation] and [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting format contributions thoughtfully]. Eventually use of categories or topics will be an essential responsibility of contributors as well.

== Some thoughts on starting new ==

We hope that prior articles can be rescued from the prior, corrupted, database and imported to this installation.

For now the documentation starts afresh. We suggest:

# Create new pages from this home page by creating a link to it [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page as shown in the MediaWiki documentation] under the Articles heading below.
#* Or by searching for a topic and starting a page on that topic from the results page if no existing article is found.
#* ('''As more articles populate this wiki, this will be preferred and the home page may take a different form.''')
# Please name things concisely and accurately and consider making new pages if your area of contribution wanders.
# Use the "Discussion" tab to add notes with questions, suggestions, and leads that are not complete thoughts for a given page.
# Familiarize yourself with the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents Medawiki documentation] and [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting format contributions thoughtfully]. Eventually use of categories or topics will be an essential responsibility of contributors as well.
# Discussion of editing conventions specific to this wiki or of tools that might extend this wiki setup should probably happen under the "[http://accupedia.washingtonstakeout.com/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page Discussion]" tab for this page (the main page) for now.

'''HOUSE''': The House voted 219-211 in favor of giving the President fast track trade authority. However, the measure failed to pass due to the defeat of an accompanying bill. 191 Republicans and 28 Democrats voted in favor of giving the President fast track trade authority, while 157 Democrats and 54 Republicans voted no. Below is a link to the roll call of the vote.

However, a week later the House voted again on the Fast Track Trade Authority, this time absent the accompaniment of another bill, and passed it 218-208. Following the vote, the bill returns to the Senate because the Senate passed Fast Track Authority as a package with another bill.

In the House vote, 190 Republicans voted for the measure and 50 voted against it. 28 Democrats supported the bill while 158 opposed it. Below is a link to the roll call of the vote.
