George W. Bush Condemns 'Unjustified and Brutal Invasion of Iraq...I Mean of The Ukraine'

Former President George W. Bush quickly went viral for accidentally referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine as Iraq, which was invaded by the United States in 2003.
“In contrast, Russian elections are rigged, political opponents are imprisoned or otherwise eliminated from participating in the electoral process,” he said in a speech for the George W. Bush Institute in Dallas, Texas.
“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 the Ukraine,” he added.
He then appears to say under his breath “Iraq too, anyway,” which was met with chuckles from the audience.
The audience continued to laugh at the error as he said “75,” in a reference to his age.
