Freudian slip? George W. Bush is mocked for blasting Russia's 'wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of IRAQ'... before correcting himself to say 'Ukraine' in Texas speech UKRAINE 2022 IRAQ 2003 and brutal invasion of Iraq, I mean Ukraine. In what some are calling an epic 'Freudian slip,' former President George W. Bush accidentally called the invasion of Iraq 'wholly unjustified and brutal' while speaking about Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Bush made the embarrassing gaffe in a speech at his presidential center in Dallas, where he spoke about the importance of fair elections and slammed Russia's autocratic system. '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 shaking his head and correcting himself. 'I mean, of Ukraine.' 203 comments video 1 share

Understandable error, I'm sure the guy has said thousands of speeches about Iraq so it's close to the surface of his mind. Still pretty funny given the context.

Gotta love news things overly blowing up a simple error of the mind and mouth we all do on practically a near daily basis because a former president did it.
