Truthdigger of the Week: Ivy Ziedrich, Critic of War and the Bush Family
Ivy Ziedrich, a 19-year-old student at the University of Nevada, made headlines
Wednesday when she confronted Jeb Bush, a presumed Republican
presidential candidate, over his brother George W. Bush’s role in
creating the militant extremist group Islamic State.
At a town hall event in Reno, Nev., Jeb Bush had said that the
jihadist group developed as a result of President Barack Obama’s
decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq. From among a flock of
reporters, Ziedrich said to Bush: “You stated that ISIS was created
because we don’t have enough presence and we’ve been pulling out of the
Middle East. However, the threat of ISIS was created by the Iraqi coalition authority, which ousted the entire government of Iraq.”
