Former President George W. Bush left critics stunned on Wednesday after accidentally condemning his own invasion of Iraq while criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
Bush, who was accused of stealing the 2000 election before launching an invasion of Iraq under false pretenses that killed hundreds of thousands of civilians, during a brief speech at the George W. Bush Institute in Dallas criticized Russia's autocratic system for enabling Putin to shut down and jail critics and political opponents.
"Russian elections are rigged. Political opponents are imprisoned or otherwise eliminated from participating in the electoral process. 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 correcting himself. "I mean, of Ukraine."
Bush winced and shrugged before muttering, "Iraq too."
The comment drew laughter laughs from the crowd before Bush blamed the gaffe on his being 75 years old to more laughter.

Speaking in Dallas this afternoon, former President George. W Bush made a significant verbal slip-up while discussing the war in Ukraine.
He tried referencing what he described as the “wholly unjustified and brutal invasion” — but said Iraq, instead of Ukraine.
