Over the weekend, Jeb Bush unabashedly supported the Iraq War. “I would have [authorized the invasion], and so would have Hillary Clinton, just to remind everyone,” Bush told Megyn Kelly.

Laura Ingraham demolished these comments on her show Monday, incredulous that Bush didn’t qualify his statement at all to account for faulty intelligence.

“What was the question? Knowing what we know now. Not ‘if you were in the same exact circumstances as your brother, would you have authorized this war.’ No, no, no. Knowing what we know now–namely that there were no WMDs, we got bad intelligence…if you had known all these things, he said yes, I would have still authorized the war!” 

“You have to say no to that,” Ingraham continued. “You can’t say ‘Yes, I still would have gone into Iraq.’ And if you do…there has to be something wrong with you.

“You can’t still think that going into Iraq, now, as a sane human being, was the right thing to do. That’s like, you have no ability to learn from past mistakes at all. When the past mistakes were made by your brother.”

Ingraham also rejected the idea that Hillary would authorize the war given what she knows now, and belittled Bush’s past claims about being his “own man.”
