Better late than never, or is it?
"I know that some of my decisions have led to terrible loss -- and not one of those decisions has been taken lightly. I know this war is controversial -- yet being your president requires doing what I believe is right and accepting the consequences. "
"It is true that many nations believed that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. But much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong. And as your president, I am responsible for the decision to go into Iraq."
- George W. Bush, December 18, 2005.
Really? Y'don't say. So essentially you decided to occupy another country based on a lot of bad intelligence. Only it's taken you how long to admit it? Over 2,000 people had to die before you would half-apologize? Didn't your mother teach you better than that? Oh, wait, I forgot... guess the Bush legacy marches on.
Seriously, bring Clinton back. Either one of them. Their apologies were about much more interesting things, and with much less of a morbid consequence.

Over 2,000 Americans have died--but what about the tens of thousands of Iraqis who've died as well? It's like they don't matter in the BushAgenda. They don't get highlighted on the CBS Evening News.
I can't wait till 2008; and I'm not a big fan of Sen. Clinton, but if that's what it takes to get Clinton back to the White House, she just might get my vote. Bush and his administration are dragging America through the mud.
I would also have to agree with woman-speaks-the-truth:
Everyday, approximately a dozen Iraqi civilians lose their lives in Iraq because of the insurgence and, sadly, because of our troops. These are people who are shopping at food markets, dining, or just driving/walking in the street at the wrong time. Innocent people and children are dying and no one on the home turf seems to care.
This war will go down in the History books as one of our biggest blunders.
