Former President George W. Bush said President Barack Obama is being naive about Iran and his nuclear deal with that country.
Bush also said Obama is losing the war against ISIS.
Bloomberg News reports the former president made those remarks in a closed-door meeting with Jewish donors Saturday night.
Bush also said that Obama was putting the U.S. in “retreat” around the world. He said he thought the nuclear deal with Iran would be bad for American security over the long term, and that it would make the Middle East even more chaotic.
“You think the Middle East is chaotic now? Imagine what it looks like for our grandchildren. That’s how Americans should view the deal,” BloombergView quoted the former president.
“In order to be an effective president … when you say something you have to mean it,” Bush said.
