George W. Bush is mocked for blasting Russia’s ‘wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of IRAQ’… before correcting himself to say Ukraine in Texas speech
- Bush made a poignant gaffe in a speech at his presidential center on Wednesday
- He referred to Russia’s ‘wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq’
- Bush, 75, quickly corrected himself and blamed the slip-up on his age
- After a nervous silence, the audience greeted the gaffe with hearty laughter
- Bush ordered the 2003 invasion of Iraq, but never found the much-hyped WMD
In what some are calling an epic ‘Freudian slip,’ former President George W. Bush accidentally called the invasion of Iraq ‘wholly unjustified and brutal’ while speaking about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Bush made the embarrassing gaffe in a speech at his presidential center in Dallas, where he spoke about the importance of fair elections and slammed Russia’s autocratic system.
‘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 shaking his head and correcting himself. ‘I mean, of Ukraine.’
As the audience fell into awkward silence, Bush muttered under his breath what sounded like the words, ‘Iraq too, anyway,’ drawing laughter from the crowd.
‘I’m 75,’ Bush quickly added, blaming the slip on his advancing years, and drawing further laughter from the crowd.

What the SM article leaves out is that under international laws signed by the United States, this invasion was illegal and thus a crime, a crime against peace.
ONLY wars of national defense, if approved by the UN Security Council, are legal. It is right in the Charter of the United Nations.
Signed by the the United States.
In fact, the UN Charter which the US trashes was WRITTEN by the United States!
