Former Vice Pres. Joe Biden “misspoke” when he said he “immediately” opposed the Iraq war after the invasion began, a senior campaign adviser says.
Former Vice President Joe Biden “misspoke” when he said he “immediately” opposed the Iraq war after the invasion began, according to a senior adviser for the Biden campaign.
"He got them in and before you know it, we had 'shock and awe.' Immediately, the moment it started, I came out against the war at that moment. Now the judgement of my trusting a president to keep his word on something like that, that was a mistake and I apologize for that,” Biden continued. “Vice President Biden misspoke by saying that he declared his opposition to the war immediately. He opposed the way we went to war and the way the war was being carried out. He has for many years called his vote a mistake and takes full responsibility for it,” Blinken said in the statement to the Post.
In 2002, Biden worked on a bipartisan resolution that would have limited President Bush’s ability to take military action in Iraq to destroy possible weapons of mass destruction that ultimately was defeated, before voting to authorize the use of military force in October of that year.
