访谈录 杰布·布什改口 称换作他不会发动对伊战争（在线收听） |
The race for the White House now and Jeb Bush playing defense over comments he made about the Iraq war, his Republican rivals pouncing as Bush wrestles with his older brother's legacy. ABC's John C in Washington with the latest, good morning John.Good morning George, Jeb Bush is not even an official candidate yet, but he's already had his first big stumble, offering four different answers to a basic question about the Iraq war. For Jeb Bush it was a moment of shocking all.
Knowing what we know now, would you authorize the invasion?
I would have.
Really? He would have invaded Iraq even if he knew there were no weapons of mass destruction, now Bush is saying he misheard the question.
I heard, I didn't, whatever I heard it was translated, knowing what you knew then what would you do.
The misheard question and the less than smooth clarification has suddenly put the Iraq war, the most unpopular decision of his brother's presidency front and center in the campaign, Bush's Republican rivals are pouncing.
We now know that the intelligence was false, no way we would have gone to war with Iraq.
I want to directly answer your question because that's what i do, if we knew then what we know now and i were the president of the United States, i wouldn't have gone to war.
I think even at the time invading Iraq was a mistake.
In contrast Bush is declining to answer the question he misheard, saying talking about whether the war should have been fought does disservice for those who serve.
Going back in time and talking about hypothetical what would have happened, what could have happened i think does disservice for them.
Bush says we should focus instead on the lessons learnt from the war, although he hasn't yet said what those lessons are.
Jeb Bush's latest answer on this George giving the power of looking back of course anybody would have made different decisions, still not crystal clear, but he's moved much closer to that direct no answers, no answers that his rivals have given.
And they did that fast, okay, John C, thank you very much.
