Is he triangulating because his aides let him know how disastrous it would be to still support the Iraq War at this point, or is he actually expressing an honest opinion now? Who knows! In the 2015 GOP Clown Car, not even the clowns know what they really believe: Jeb Bush Fully Walks It Back on Iraq: ‘I Would Not Have Gone Into Iraq.’

After nearly a week of confusion over his position on Iraq, the Middle East, and the role of his brother as an adviser, Jeb Bush fully walked back his position that he would have gone to war in Iraq — even knowing what we know now.

“So here’s the deal,” Bush told an audience in Arizona, “if we’re all supposed to answer hypothetical questions, knowing what we know now, I would not have engaged. I would not have gone into Iraq. That’s not to say that the world is safer because Saddam Hussein is gone. It is significantly safer.”

The remarks come after Bush was asked on Fox, “Knowing what we know now,” would he have authorized the war. “I would have,” he answered, then pivoted to try and say that Hillary Clinton would have, too. Clinton voted to authorize the war as a senator, but has since called that vote a “mistake.”
