“If you knew in 2003 what we know now, would you have launched the war in Iraq?” Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) gave three very different answers to that question in three days, none of which made sense.

Today, as msnbc’s Kasie Hunt reported, was Answer #4.

After days of equivocation, Jeb Bush on Thursday declared: ”Knowing what we know now, what would we have done, I would not have engaged. I would not have gone into Iraq.” […]

“That’s not to say that the world isn’t safer because Saddam Hussein is gone. The world is safer,” Bush said. He went on to say it also didn’t mean the sacrifices of troops who died in Iraq, and their families, were not wasted; he explained his difficulty answering the question as concern for military service members who fought in the war.

He knew the question was coming, and he had literally years to prepare a good answer, but the Florida Republican flubbed this badly anyway.

For those keeping track at home:

Jebya? Jubya?

wouldn't you agree?

(look at how they treated and are still treating President Obama)

continue to mock him for that; and if it gets anyone's knickers in a twist, I honestly don't give a damn.

my post that you objected to? Heb is a hypocrite, a phony, and … of course … a Republican.

I've heard that somewhere before.

(Heaven help us if we get another Bush!)

if we don't get a Democrat. The GOP is trying to kill us one way or another, napkinz.

Can you imagine another EIGHT years of a Bush?????

To think we may wake up November 9, 2016 to a President-elect Jeb Bush.

Oh and bmking for future use.

it's the beginning of his pursuit of the presidency (he's 39 years old)

(I expect he'll be running for higher office in Texas in the coming years.)
