WASHINGTON — Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will lay out a vision of American foreign policy on Wednesday aimed at pushing his nascent 2016 presidential campaign out of the shadow of his father and brother, two former presidents who waged overseas wars.
“I love my father and my brother … But I am my own man –- and my views are shaped by my own thinking and own experiences,” Bush will say in a speech to the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, according to excerpts provided to reporters late Tuesday night.

Wolfowitz and Jeb Bush have held similar foreign policy ideas since at least 1997, when they were both signatories to a set of principles devised by the conservative Center for a New American Security, and described by the group as a “Reaganite policy of military strength and moral clarity.” Other signatories include former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
