President Bush today said mistakes were made in planning for the Iraq invasion, but he defended the troop level he ordered in the initial strike, saying he would have committed the same number if given a second chance.
Or as close as he’ll ever get to admitting one, anyway. Astute observers will notice still deflects responsibility by phrasing it as “mistakes were made” rather than “I made a mistake”. But from George the-only-mistake-I-ever-made-in-my-life-is-trading-Sammy-Sosa Bush, this is still a monumental event.
