After some hemming and hawing, Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio said that, even with the benefit of hindsight, the Iraq invasion was not a mistake. 

“He was dealing with Saddam Hussein,” the Florida senator said on Fox's Fox News Sunday, referring to former President George W. Bush. “The world is a better place because Saddam Hussein is not there.”
