Bush takes responsibility for invasion intelligence (http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/12/14/bush.iraq/index.html)

He actually admitted that mistakes were made, and he is responsible!


WASHINGTON (CNN) -- On the eve of Iraq's historic election, President Bush took responsibility Wednesday for "wrong" intelligence that led to the war, but he said removing Saddam Hussein was still necessary.

"It is true that much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong," Bush said during his fourth and final speech before Thursday's vote for Iraq's parliament. "As president I am responsible for the decision to go into Iraq. And I'm also responsible for fixing what went wrong by reforming our intelligence capabilities. And we're doing just that."

However, it may be just window-dressing. In reality, it is still business-as-usual for the war-criminal administration:


WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sen. John McCain and President Bush's national security adviser remained at an impasse Wednesday over the senator's proposed ban on cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of foreign terrorism suspects.

The intelligence was wrong, but torture is right. Or perhaps there is no intelligence involved in the matter...

HE is reforming intelligence? Uh Huuuuuh.

[George.]

On the other hand, it really does look like business as usual...

Powell aide: Torture 'guidance' from VP (http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/11/20/torture/?section=cnn_topstories)


WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A former top State Department official said Sunday that Vice President Dick Cheney provided the "philosophical guidance" and "flexibility" that led to the torture of detainees in U.S. facilities.

Retired U.S. Army Col. Larry Wilkerson, who served as former Secretary of State Colin Powell's chief of staff, told CNN that the practice of torture may be continuing in U.S.-run facilities.

"There's no question in my mind that we did. There's no question in my mind that we may be still doing it," Wilkerson said on CNN's "Late Edition."

"There's no question in my mind where the philosophical guidance and the flexibility in order to do so originated -- in the vice president of the United States' office," he said. "His implementer in this case was [Defense Secretary] Donald Rumsfeld and the Defense Department."

WAR CRIMINAL! :mad:

[George.]

Cheney must be a "liberal democrat", a victim of "big government." ;)

Ex-CIA chief: Cheney 'VP for torture' (http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/11/18/turner.cheney/)

But George, he was CIA director under Carter.

Carter!

Can't possibly have a valid opinion... :rolleyes:

[Meerkat]

Ah! If Cheney was in the CIA, then surely he must be a liberal democrat! :D

He never admitted that he made a mistake, however. Just that "Mistakes were made"..... Weasle. :rolleyes:
