Bush finally blurts out what we all already knew.
In some of his most extensive public comments about the Russian invasion of Ukraine since the war began {. . . } Bush made {these} comments during an event at his presidential center at Southern Methodist University.

“The result is an absence of checks and balances in Russia, and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq,” Bush said, before wincing and correcting himself. “I mean, of Ukraine.”

The comment left the audience in an awkward silence. Then, Bush shrugged and said under his breath: “Iraq, too.”

The crowd erupted in laughter after Bush blamed the mistake on his age — 75.

Bush oversaw the 2003 preemptive invasion of Iraq, which critics have called both brutal and unjustified. More than 4,000 American troops were killed in the ensuing war, along with tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians.
