George W. Bush explains his one regret over invading Iraq
Former President George W. Bush said Sunday that though he did not regret his decision to invade Iraq in 2003, he did regret the power vacuum it created.
"I think it was the right decision," he said on Face the Nation. "My regret is that a violent group of people have risen up again."
"This is al Qaeda plus," he added, referring to ISIS. --Jon Terbush
