Bush acknowledges Iraq "miscalculation"

Aug. 27, 2004 | Washington -- President Bush, undertaking a heavy campaign schedule in key states in the run-up to the Republican National Convention, acknowledges a "miscalculation" about what the United States would encounter in post-war Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime.

In an interview with The New York Times, Bush said for the first time that he made a "miscalculation of what the conditions would be" after U.S. troops went to Iraq and toppled Saddam's regime in May 2003. The insurgency, he maintained, was the unintended result of a "swift victory" that led to Iraqi troops disappearing into the cities and mounting a rebellion.

It's like he needs people to do something for him....

Yeah, like no one is any good at math, so calling it a miscalculation is the way to sell it.

This is so reminiscent of the standard answer to that interview question, "What is your greatest weakness?" Answer: "I work too hard." Does he think we are idiots, too?????

Everyone but Poor Retarded Dubya. And after fucking up this badly, he wants to be re-elected.

which was to essentially project a facade of complete infallibility.

We'll have to wait and see, but this might be like the first drop of blood in the water, or the point where Captain Cook was wounded, and the natives realized he wasn't a god.

cute
