The quote was also reported on by The Daily Beast (http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2015/08/13/jeb-toppling-saddam-was-a-good-deal.html). Bush was speaking at a forum sponsored by Americans for Peace, Prosperity and Security at St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa, according to the website.
The Beast reported that Bush went on to say he didn't want to hypothesize about what would have happened if his brother, former President George W. Bush, had not ordered the invasion of Iraq, which led to the toppling of Hussein.
"Then that's back to the future and you could make a movie," Jeb Bush said, according to the Beast.
