This was an obvious “gotcha” question waiting to happen.

He can never win the general election as he will never be able to get beyond that one point. “Yes, I agree with my Brother that based on the information we had at the time, we should have gone into Iraq.”

The media attack dogs will make that their go-to question, and never allow JB to show what a truly squishy, kind, non threatening Republican he is.

Congress authorized the war, not the president, but I wouldn’t expect Jeb or the talking heads to understand that.....just saying.

Just keep digging that hole, Jebby. We can still barely see the top of your scalp! You know you don't want it, anyway.
