Jeb Bush, trying to become the third Bush to run for president, says he wouldn’t have invaded Iraq if he’d been president instead of his brother George W. “Knowing what we now know, what would you have done? I would have not engaged. I would not have gone into Iraq,” Bush said at a campaign stop at a brewery in Arizona. Jeb said his hesitation to make his view known had nothing to do with his brother –“I don’t go out of my way to disagree with my brother,” — but his respect for the troops and their families. “It’s very hard for me to say that their lives were lost in vain,” Bush said. “In fact, they weren’t. We have the greatest military in the face of the earth.” Given that he’s still George W’s brother, he was going to have to address the issue sooner or later.

Justin Trudeau is trying to make an issue of the Tories’ willingness to have more English-language debates than French during the upcoming federal election campaign. “That any political leader in this country would propose less French debates than English debates is absolutely unacceptable,” Trudeau said. “It’s important to have the debates in English and in French. We’re a bilingual country, all the leaders should be able to perform adequately in both official languages,” he said. Give it a rest. It’s not a question of language skills, but practicality and population. There are 8 million Quebecers, not all French-speaking. There are 27 million Anglos. So everyone in ROC has to sit through token French debates to please people in Rimouski? Do people in Rimouski really want that much of Stephen Harper anyway?
