Jeb Bush’s Iraq Debacle Gets Weirder
NY Times ^ | 5/12/15 | Andrew Rosenthal

Posted on 05/12/2015 9:24:16 AM PDT by jimbo123

When a candidate or officeholder says something completely ridiculous, a supporter inevitably claims he or she misheard the question. And so it goes, today, with Ana Navarro, who used to work for Jeb Bush, who used to be governor of Florida, saying he misheard a question about the invasion of Iraq.

The question, from Megyn Kelly of Fox News, was not terribly complicated: “Knowing what we know now, would you have authorized the invasion?”

-snip-

Ms. Navarro said she did not ask what Mr. Bush heard, or what he would say now. “Listen, it’s too early in the morning, O.K., for me to be exchanging emails and being coherent about something that happened 10 years ago,” she said, rather oddly, because that’s exactly what she’d been doing.

Ana Navarro is a paid mouthpiece for The Cheap Labor Express. Nothing she says is worth listening to.

Possibly he is an idiot.

The full text of his answer showed that he either ignored or he just missed the premise of the question, in order to stick in the fact that at the time, not only he, but also Hillary and all international partners wanted to go into Iraq, based on the evidence at the time.

This should have been easy for him to clear up, by this morning already.

That’s my thinking too.
If Huckster doesn’t work, I MSM will start talking Trump.
Trump won’t play well in much of the Midwest, TX or FL

Why is everybody throwing W under the bus over Iraq?

The intelligence community worldwide said they had evidence saddam might be developing nukes, nerve agents and in general was a very bad guy. At the time there was overwhelming public support to go into Iraq and he had the consent of congress.

Now we are suffering an equally huge amount of selective amnesia over it. The hildabeast, kerry and a S#!tload of freepers were for it before they were against it. Excellent 20/20 hindsight.

This fake brushfire against Jeb uses the same mentality that has villified Nixon over Watergate. Nixon was a generally successful president that absolutely humiliated mccarthy and the dims in the elections and the dims were desperate to take him down any way they could in revenge. Unfortunately, that became his legacy, defined by the losers.

I liked the optics of the tanned Steve King and the lighter skinned Ava Navarro arguing over immigration, wondering which one of the two had actually done physical work in their lives.
