Invading Iran is not the only thing the Crown Prince  can't give a straight answer about.

(National Journal) -  Jeb Bush said Wednesday he is running for president. Wait, no. He said he is running for president if he is running for president.

When a reporter asked him how he would be different from his brother, Bush responded with a slight slip up. NBC News caught the moment: "I'm running for president in 2016, and the focus is gonna be about how we—if I run—how do you create high, sustained economic growth, where more people have a chance at earned success? And I will apply my record and the ideas that are relevant going forward to all of this. Of course I have differences with every president, previous president."

He said that he's been "encouraged" from what he's heard. Read more.
