Jeb Bush on Iraq war comment controversy: ‘I interpreted the question wrong, I guess’
Washington Post ^ | 5/12/15 | Jose A. DelReal

Former Florida governor Jeb Bush on Tuesday engaged in damage control over his controversial response to a question about the invasion of Iraq, in which he had seemed to indicate that he would have gone forward with the invasion even knowing the intelligence that led to the war ultimately proved faulty.

“I interpreted the question wrong, I guess. I was talking about, 'Given what people knew then, would you have done it?'" Bush told Fox News host Sean Hannity during a radio appearance. "Knowing what we know now, clearly there were mistakes as it related to faulty intelligence in the lead-up to the war and the lack of focus on security. My brother’s admitted this and we have to learn from that.”

If we knew then what we know now, we might have invaded Iraq, but first of all we wouldn't have allowed existing WMDs to become the sole perceived reason for the invasion. Second, prepare better for the aftermath.

And the GOPe donors who gave $300 million to Karl Rove to waste on Romney are now giving their money to this clown.

Well that's an understatement.

He didn't think he'd be asked questions about the war his brother lead us into?

It’s frightening that he is as clueless as Obama to the real world. He clearly does not understand the nature of the mistakes made on Iraq...the mistakes of the neo-cons who are now his advisors. He’ll make a sad candidate (and loser) if his campaign strategy is to cover for the mistakes of his advisors.

Hannity is giving him cover. No wonder I only listen to Rush and Levin

I think he misheard the question. And it's no big deal.

But go on with the hate fest.

I heard this guy on Sean Hannity today. He cannot even say he will run for president. Indecisive is not what the country needs and he certainly is not what we want.

Ann Coulter: Mitt Romney Will Jump Back In

Posted on May 12 2015 - 7:11 PM - Posted by: 


According to Ann Coulter, she’ll take a long vacation if the Republicans nominate anyone else other than Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker or Former Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney. In fact, she’d prefer Romney at the top of the ticket and Walker as Vice President even going so far as saying that the remaining candidates are jokes.

Her logic?

If we don’t run Mitt Romney (who lost to Barack Obama), we’ll lose to the Clinton Machine. Even though Republicans picked him and he lost in a general election against the worst president ever.  Even after he answered the “war on women” charge with "binders full of women", he’s going to win against the Democrats’ first female presidential candidate.

She further bitterly clings to the idea of Romney being "the most conservative" candidate claiming Republican primary voters listened to "idiots."  That’s odd considering he won the primary! 

And for the record, many tea party supporters (myself included) held our noses and voted for Romney in the general because even though we may have preferred someone else in the primary, he was the only alternative to the Obama nightmare.  Additionally, Governor Palin urged all of her supporters to do the same in 2012.

I was so looking forward to Coulter’s new book coming out.  Yet I find it hard to believe that this is the same woman we fell in love with years ago when she came close to making Katie Couric leap out of her seat in rage.

Such a shame.
