Jeb Bush Finally Says He Would Not Have Invaded Iraq

“After a week of painfully struggling to talk about the war in Iraq started by his brother,” Jeb Bush (R) said definitively “that he would not have invaded that country based on the intelligence failures that now are known,” the Washington Post reports.

Said Bush: “Knowing what we now know, I would not have engaged. I would not have gone into Iraq.”

“Bush said the lives of U.S. armed forces were not lost in vain -– ‘their sacrifice was worth honoring, not depreciating’ — but that given the intelligence failures that have since been established, he would not have led the country into war in Iraq.”
