George W Bush has accidentally called the invasion of Iraq ‘brutal’ and ‘unjustified’ in what first appeared to be a very unfortunate Freudian slip. But the former President then doubled down on the remark after correcting himself, muttering 'Iraq too'.
George W Bush accidentally called the Iraq invasion ‘brutal’ and ‘unjustified’ in a very unfortunate ‘Freudian slip’.
The gaffe-prone former US President let his tongue slip during a speech at his presidential centre in Dallas, where he spoke about fair elections and attempted to slam‘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.‘I mean, of Ukraine,’ he awkwardly added.The crowd began to laugh and Bush made them giggle even more when he blamed the gaffe on his advancing years.
Bush was president when he led the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 over supposed weapons of mass destruction, which were never found.
