Jeb Bush, the GOP and the Iraq War: 'Knowing What We Know Now'

Posted: 05/19/2015 
JEB BUSH GEORGE W BUSH
Supporters of presumptive Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush admit that he "stumbled" over questions about the Iraq War.
When asked if "knowing what we know now" -- that U.S. intelligence was faulty and Saddam Hussein didn't have weapons of mass destruction (WMD) -- he would have invaded Iran, the former Florida Governor responded in the affirmative.
But then in the days following the interview, Bush insisted that he "misinterpreted" the question and corrected himself. "Knowing what we know now," he would not have invaded Iraq. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/leon-t-hadar/knowing-what-we-know-now_b_7337672.html
