Former President George W. Bush was criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday when his old nemesis, the verbal slip, struck again. Bush eventually condemned Putin's invasion of Ukraine — but not before he condemned "a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq."
Bush was drawing a parallel between how countries conduct elections and their stance toward other nations when his tongue went rogue.
"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 — I mean of Ukraine," Bush said.

..."Bush was speaking to an audience at his presidential library in Dallas, Texas, at an event focused on the importance of ensuring free, fair and secure elections, aiming to bolster voters' confidence in U.S. elections. But the former president's verbal gaffe quickly drew notice on social media and in headlines."...

When your old and confused you should keep your mouth shut! A lesson President Biden should take.

Lighten up... Bush has lived with his mistake all these years... maybe you should need your own advice.

Lighten up? Yes, I will when you and everyone else lighten up about Trump. You see the only time you lighten up about past Republicans/Conservatives (and Bush isn't really one) is when they are old and inconsequential. Typically, the Left uses them to try to demoralize the current leaders. I will note in my defense there is not one humor or satire tag posted here, and the article itself drones on after they have their lighthearted moment, only to talk about the 2003 invasion and weapons of mass destruction... Does that sound real humorous? I didn't think so. Basically I called out a passive aggressive article, more of us should do so. MHO
