\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: The Republican presidential candidates are being hit with, “Well, knowing what you know now, would you go back into Iraq?” And they\u2019ve mostly accepted the premise that Iraq was a big boondoggle, a huge mistake, Bush lied, we shouldn\u2019t have done it, and they\u2019re answering on that basis. <\/p>\n

Well, on Fox News Sunday, which I didn\u2019t see, during the group panel discussion, Chris Wallace speaking with Bob Woodward of the Washington Post, Wallace said, “The politics of Iraq have gotten a lot of attention the last couple of weeks with Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, bunch of others, and these questions of was it a mistake to go in 2003, was it a mistake to get out in 2011, what impact this could all have on the Republican race, the Democrat race. Bob Woodward, I know you want to talk about it because you\u2019ve written a lot and you\u2019ve reported extensively on this. What do you say about it?”<\/line><\/p>\n

WOODWARD: There\u2019s a kind of line going along that Bush and the other people lied about this. I spent 18 months looking at how Bush decided to invade Iraq. Lots of mistakes, but it was Bush telling George Tenet, the CIA director, don\u2019t let anyone stretch the case on WMD, and he was the one who was skeptical. A mistake certainly can be argued and there\u2019s an abundance of evidence, but there was no lie in this, that I could find.<\/p>\n
