Biden falsely claiming he turned against Iraq War 'the moment' invasion was launched

Joe Biden has given a false account of when he turned against the Iraq War and cited details of a conversation with George W. Bush in 2002 that the former president's aides and his current spokesman dismiss as wholly untrue.

Biden, the 2020 front-runner, said in the second Democratic presidential debate: "From the moment 'shock and awe' started, I was opposed to the effort and outspoken as much as anyone at all in the Congress and administration."

He amplified the claim this week, adding vivid detail about what he claims Bush told him beforehand.
