Washington (CNN) Florida Sen. Marco Rubio was the latest Republican on Sunday to struggle to explain whether it was a "mistake" for the United States to invade Iraq in 2003.
In an interview on Fox News Sunday, the Republican presidential contender disputed a question about whether he'd flip-flopped.
After former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush struggled with inquiries about Iraq last week, Rubio said -- knowing what he knows now -- that he wouldn't have launched the war. Six weeks earlier, Rubio had said definitively "the world is a better place because Saddam Hussein doesn't run Iraq."
"That was not the same question," Rubio said Sunday. "The question was whether it was a mistake, and my answer was, 'It's not a mistake.' I still say it's not a mistake because the President was presented with intelligence that said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction."
