Bush concedes U.S. decisions made Iraq unstable
16 minutes ago


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush acknowledged on Saturday that some of his administration's decisions during the Iraq war had contributed to instability there but he still believed he was right to topple Saddam Hussein.

Insisting it was crucial to U.S. interests to get the sectarian violence in Iraq under control, Bush told CBS in an interview that the strife there was a destabilizing force in the Middle East that "could lead to attacks here in America."

Pressed on whether actions by his administration had created further instability in Iraq, Bush said, "Well, no question, decisions have made things unstable."

But he added, "My decision to remove Saddam Hussein was the correct decision in my judgment."

"I think history is going to look back and see a lot of ways we could have done things better. No question about it," Bush told "60 Minutes."

1. i do not believe a word he says.

he probably had his c i a blow up that mosque, hell they may even be behind the car bombs, just to keep the war going strong.

7. Remember when some British soldiers were dressed in black with faces covered

like insurgents? They were found to have explosives in their car and were arrested. We drove a bloody tank through the wall of the prison and rescued them. Doesn't sound much different from your scenario.

10. I just fired off an e mail

to NPR, the so-called "liberal" media. Seems the meme all week is that * has admitted to mistakes, the buck stops here, how unusual this is for him, etc. I've read the transcript twice, and I've listened to it once. NOWHERE does he admit any personal responsibility nor does he take any ownership of the problem WHATSOEVER. In the "surge" speech, all he said was, "mistakes have been made". Yet there was Juan Williams this morning giving his "analysis" and repeating the lie that * has admitted to his mistakes. And now it's his "administration's decisions", and not his own.

Can't we just impeach him now under article 25? He's emotionally immature and too mentally unstable to serve.

5. "decisions have made things unstable", whose decisions mrbush?

and it was "decisions" that made things unstable, not actions like invading and occupying and all the bad crap that has happened without a master plan except make money for the war machine and oil companies?
