There are Freudian slips, and then there are what former President George W. Bush said Wednesday.
Speaking in Dallas at an event at Southern Methodist University’s Bush Center, Bush praised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as a modern-day Winston Churchill, but it was the slip of the tongue that his speech will be remembered for.“‘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’s invasion of Iraq in 2003 — based on unfounded U.S. claims of weapons of mass destruction and leading to hundreds of thousands of deaths, according to some studies — has been called unjustified and brutal by some critics. Key Words : Colin Powell ‘scrubbed’ from U.N. testimony in 2003 all but 2% to 5% of flawed intelligence on Iraq’s weapons, longtime ally estimates
In his speech, Bush hailed Zelensky as “a cool little guy,” according to the Dallas Morning News, and called him “the Churchill of the 21st century,” noting his strength comes from his electoral legitimacy — another comment that detractors might consider ironic, in light of Bush’s disputed electoral victory over Democrat Al Gore in 2000.
