According to an interview with Charlie Gibson to be broadcast tonight, W says he regrets his administrations own fabricated intelligence concerning Iraq's fictional WMDs.
From the story:
Looking back on his eight years in the White House, President George W. Bush pinpointed incorrect intelligence that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction as "biggest regret of all the presidency...I wish the intelligence had been different, I guess," Bush added. "
Without going into a long diatribe; does also he regret creating the Office of Special Plans to manufacture intel connecting Saddam with Al Qaeda? How about the Mobile Weapons Labs hoax or the aluminum tubes for enriching the uranium Iraq never possessed. How about the phony Niger documents, does he regret those. What a tool. He also claims in the interview he was "unprepared for war."
"I think I was unprepared for war," Bush told ABC News' Charlie Gibson in an interview airing today on "World News." "In other words, I didn't campaign and say, 'Please vote for me, I'll be able to handle an attack,'" he said. "In other words, I didn't anticipate war. Presidents -- one of the things about the modern presidency is that the unexpected will happen."
That seems to be contrary to former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill's recollections. O'Neill documented discussions about attacking Iraq in the very first Bush Administration Cabinet meeting.
Bush and what's left of his legacy is in tatters; it's not helping that he continues to rewrite history and lie.
UPDATE: Another thought. I wonder if he regrets all the American and Iraqi lives he extinguished?
