In unusually introspective comments, Bush said he regrets his cowboy rhetoric the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks such as his “wanted dead or alive” description of Osama bin Laden and his taunting “bring ’em on” challenge to Iraqi insurgents.
“In certain parts of the world, it was misinterpreted.”
He also cited the mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners at the U.S.-run Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad. “We’ve been paying for that for a long time,” Bush said.
Blair regretted the way in which Saddam Hussein’s political allies were purged from the Iraqi military and government soon after the fall of Baghdad. Critics have said the sudden purge left a security vacuum in Iraq and encouraged former regime loyalists to take up arms against the newly installed government.
Now I feel bad about saying such negative things about people who believe in miracles. Apparently they do happen.
I love how Bush says that, “In certain parts of the world, it was misinterpreted.”
No it wasn't! They understood you perfectly! You said "bring it on" and they brought it on! You picked a fight and then sent young men and women to fight and die in that conflict in your place. That is a horrible thing to do. But you were not misunderstood.
Now I will wait for Bush to admit that the war was a mistake. He should be saying it any day now. Don't you think? Don't you?
