President Bush: I Take Responsibility For This Awesome War

The President 'defends' the war (while ignoring the original rationale) and 'takes responsibility' for bad intelligence (by blaming others for it):
Bush Defends Decision to Go to War in Iraq

President Bush accepted responsibility on Wednesday for going to war with faulty intelligence, but firmly defended a decision that has deeply divided the country. "We cannot and will not leave Iraq until victory is achieved," he said.

President Bush 'takes responsibility' for the intelligence failures in the same way he 'took responsibility' for the Katrina aftermath. Ask the people of New Orleans how that one is working out.

I also liked this paragraph:

"My decision to remove Saddam Hussein was the right decision. Saddam was a threat and the American people and the world is better off because he is no longer in power," the president told the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

He was? This is news to me.



"Hmmmm. I wonder if they're buying it."
