The 75-year-old former president jokingly blamed the mistake on his age.
"If you were George W. Bush, you think you'd just steer clear of giving any speech about one man launching a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion," former Rep. Justin Amash, I-Mich., wrote on Twitter.
"George Bush is laughing in this clip because he knows he and every other Iraq War supporter were rewarded with riches and big media jobs for their work killing a million people, rather than being held accountable and shunned," tweeted David Sirota, a former speechwriter for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign.
