Jeb Bush's confident affirmative answer (click here) this week that he would have authorized the invasion of Iraq "knowing what we know now"? All a misinterpretation, he says.
On The Sean Hannity Show Tuesday, the former Florida governor said that he thought the question, asked by Fox News' Megyn Kelly during an interview that aired Monday night, was under the stipulation "given what you knew then."
"I don't know what that decision would have been. That's a hypothetical," he said.
"The simple fact is mistakes were made."
The all-but-official presidential contender took a beating Tuesday from both the Left and Right over his initial answer to Kelly's question, when he responded that just like his brother, former President George W. Bush, he would have authorized the 2003 invasion....
I am so very, very tired of the mistakes Bushs make.
There were plenty of mistakes, too.
The number 1833 ring a bell? Not far from the number of American soldiers that died in Iraq.
No? Don't recall that number?
It only took one day of mistakes to kill 1833 Americans in New Orleans.
Remember now? "Good job, Brownie."
But, mistakes were made.
See, these aren't really mistakes. They were lies. Huge difference.
"Good job, Brownie" was a lie. It was intended to cue the media to sweep it all under the rub. The yellow rug. The one in the Oval Office.
I am getting a little tired of the mistakes. Maybe more than a little tired of it.
Lots and lots of mistakes were made.

"This is now a perfect storm" as 2009 saw house prices fall and unemployment and foreclosure rates rise, says David P. Leibowitz, a bankruptcy attorney and managing member of LakeLaw, headquartered in Waukegan, Ill.
More than 1.4 million consumer filings were recorded last year (2009), according to AACER (Automated Access to Court Electronic Records) and the American Bankruptcy Institute. Both groups issued 2009 year-end reports this week based on data compiled from U.S. bankruptcy courts. That number compares to fewer than 1.1 million filings in 2008, making for a 32 percent increase. And 2008 was no easy year, with bankruptcies rising by one-third from 2007....

After 4,486 U.S. soldiers died in Iraq and 2,345
U.S. soldiers died in Afghanistan, 1 million U.S. soldiers wounded in
both wars, and a potential cost of up to $6 trillion, a new group like
ISIL now causes havoc in the Middle East.Sep 17, 2014.
