[[Jeb Bush|Bush's]] [[Middle East]] [[Jeb Bush (Middle East)| (section page)]]
"We need to embed our forces -- our troops inside the Iraqi military. We need to arm directly the Kurds. And all of that has to be done in concert with the Arab nations." [http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=111177 (RD-5)]
===Syria===
"We should have a no fly zone in Syria. We should have a support for the remnants of the Syrian Free Army, and create safe zones. If you want to deal with the four million refugees that are leaving Syria because of the devastation there, then we 'ought to create safe zones for them to stay in the region rather than go to Europe. And, that requires American leadership." [http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=110908 (RD-4)]
===On being the worlds policemen===
"We're not going to be the world's policeman, but we sure as heck better be the world's leader. That's a huge difference where, without us leading, voids are filled, and the idea that it's a good idea for Putin to be in Syria, let ISIS take out Assad, and then Putin will take out ISIS? I mean, that's like a board game, that's like playing Monopoly or something. That's not how the real world works." [http://www.ontheissues.org/2016/Jeb_Bush_Foreign_Policy.htm (OTI-FP)]
