Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton offered starkly differing reactions Tuesday
to the deal reached between Iran, the U.S. and five other world powers,
in an indication the nuclear agreement will be a lasting issue as the
presidential campaign heats up.

Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination,
called the deal an “important step that puts the lid on Iran’s nuclear
program.” A congressman who was in a Capitol Hill meeting with Clinton
and House Democrats said the former secretary of state gave the deal a
“full-throated endorsement,” but she was measured when facing cameras
later, as Bloomberg reported. She said the agreement would have to be
enforced “vigorously” and Iran’s “bad behavior” on human rights needs to
be addressed.

Former Florida Gov. Bush, the leader in polls for the Republican
nomination, ripped the deal, calling it “dangerous, deeply flawed and
short sighted.”

He added: “This isn’t diplomacy — it is appeasement.”

Bush knows less about foreign policy than I do. What did he do, consult
his brother's chickenhawk advisers again?
