WASHINGTON - Asked about his biggest regret and how he has changed after four years in the White House, President Bush let out a big sigh.

"Biggest regret ... in the first term. Hmmmm. Uhhhh, let's see," he said Thursday. "What's the other one? Have I changed? Better ask my wife that question."

Bush's response during a roundtable with the St. Petersburg Times and other newspapers was reminiscent of his answer during a news conference last April when he had difficulty naming his biggest mistake. Critics said he appeared flummoxed by a simple and predictable question.

On Thursday, as he pondered his biggest regret, he drummed his fingers on the table in the Roosevelt Room.

"I'll let you know if I think of it."

When a reporter began a question by saying Bush had cited weapons of mass destruction as his reason to remove Saddam Hussein from power but that the weapons "didn't exist," Bush kept interrupting with "Oooop!"

Bush said Hussein "had the capacity to make weapons, the desire to make weapons and he hated America."

1. did i catch some sense of articulation in the shrubs talking?

maybe not even speaking better, but admitting to some of his mistakes and he even said he needed to work on making sure his words are not misinterpreted. well at least he seems semi-coherent.

2. Semi-coherent?

Is that like "kinda lying"? Because he's still a murderer, a traitor and a liar. Admitting to mistakes? Where? Every "mistake" he makes is blamed on subordinates. And if they fail spectacularly, they get promoted or they get a medal.

3. OOOOP??????????

When a reporter began a question by saying Bush had cited weapons of mass destruction as his reason to remove Saddam Hussein from power but that the weapons "didn't exist," Bush kept interrupting with "Oooop!"

What is this guy on?? What the f*ck kind of response is that to a legitimate important question about a decision he made that has led to the death of thousands of people?

And he'll let us know if he thinks of his biggest regret??? I cannot believe the arrogance of this man. This is outrageous.
