Likely Republican presidential contender and former Gov. Jeb Bush (Fla.) is attracting heat from conservatives for his recent declaration that he too would have invaded Iraq in 2003 if he had been president.

Conservative columnist Byron York bashed Bush for a "disastrous defense of the Iraq War" in a column posted Monday afternoon, while conservative radio host Laura Ingraham tweeted that "NO ability to learn from the past doesn't bode well for our foreign policy under Bush 3."

Bush signaled his support for the Iraq strategy taken by his brother, former President George W. Bush, during an interview on Fox News's "The Kelly File" that aired Monday night. The network released an excerpt of the interview on Sunday.

Host Megyn Kelly asked Bush if he would have authorized the invasion "knowing what we know now," alluding to the fact that the intelligence that claimed Iraq had weapons of mass destruction turned out to be false.

So when will Jeb start spinning that he didn't fully understand Megyn's question because English isn't his primary language?

Usually, young boys grow out of being *whipped by strange tail in later years. This appears to have gone on for decades.
