Jeb Bush Says He Would Have Backed Iraq Invasion


Jeb Bush looks like he's ready to doom his presidential campaign before it gets started if this preview of his interview with Fox's Megyn Kelly is any indication.

Jeb Bush: I, Too, Would Have Authorized Iraq Invasion:

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) would have authorized the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, putting the likely 2016 presidential contender on the same page as his brother George W. Bush, the president who actually did so.

“I would have [authorized the invasion], and so would have Hillary Clinton, just to remind everybody. And so would almost everybody that was confronted with the intelligence they got,” Bush told Fox News' Megyn Kelly in an interview scheduled to air Monday.

But he acknowledged that the "intelligence that everybody saw, that the world saw, was faulty," adding that after the invasion, the U.S. ought to have focused on securing and stabilizing Iraq in order to shield its people from sectarian violence.

He's gone nuts,  the office of special plans was created by Bush/Cheney
specifically for the task of cooking up evidence for the invasion.  So,
without an office of special plans,  Hillary would not have had any reason
to invade Iraq.
