Bush says Abu Ghraib was biggest mistake of Iraq war [View All]

Bush took NO leadership on this issue-even 'allowing' to Cheney to lobby to the Congress at the time of McCain bill. Shameful. He is counting on people to have short memories!

Bush says Abu Ghraib was biggest mistake of Iraq war

1 hour, 38 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (AFP) -
President George W. Bush said that the
Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal was the "biggest mistake" made by the United States in Iraq.


Speaking after a summit with British Prime Minister
Tony Blair, Bush said "I think the biggest mistake that's happened so far, at least from our country's involvement, is Abu Ghraib. We've been paying for that for a long period of time."

The Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal that broke with the release of photos of Iraqi prisoners being sexually humiliated at the Baghdad prison drew international criticism for US forces.

Bush said he also regretted some of his tough talk during the war campaign such as his "bring them on" challenge to Iraqi insurgents in July, 2003.

Blair said that the way the international coalition embarked on the "deBathification" of Iraq after the ousting of
Saddam Hussein as president had been the biggest mistake he had seen.
