Jeb Bush: I would have invaded Iraq too?

I think the point he is making here is that the intelligence was bad then and Hillary, Jeb Bush and George W. Bush all would have gone into Iraq given the intelligence then even though it was bad intelligence.

Also, it could be said that Iran wouldn't be running roughshod over most of the Middle East if Saddam was still there too. Because he would have prevented that. So, going into Iraq when we did was one of the many causes of what is going on right now in the middle East. And from all indications it will get much worse over time given all present variables in play.

    So, who caused the present mess in the middle East?

    I would say it is very complicated. Parts of the problems have been seething just under the surface between Sunnis and Shias for 1000 years or more. Then interference from Europe and the U.S. and Russia are another factor over the last 100 years or more. World War I and II also were a factor along with the Cold War and everything since. The U.S. attacking and defeating Saddam Hussein was the nail in the coffin of peace in the Middle East along with Russia's stance in defending Assad no matter the cost and the same for Iran which caused the Islamic State and everything else ever since.
