George W. Bush answers a question from the audience after delivering remarks on the War on Terror.

In a speech today in Washington, D.C., President Bush accepted responsibility for faulty intelligence that led the nation to war in Iraq.
"It is true that much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong. As president I am responsible for the decision to go into Iraq. And I'm also responsible for fixing what went wrong by reforming our intelligence capabilities. And we're doing just that."
The point, however, is not only that there was faulty intelligence, but that the administration exaggerated that intelligence. As we wrote in 2003, 'WMD' could become the next Watergate.

Me>> No where does he say he accepts responsiblity for the faulty intelligence. Why do you make that claim?

It is right there in black and white. When are you righties going to accept it? |
I didn't ask where the villagevoice said he did, where did BUSH say that. It's not in what you posted and I could care less what the villagevoice thinks he said. He said he took responsiblity for the decission to go to war, and I'm glad he did.
