This from Robert Parham on Bush’s speech
The president’s leadership crisis is of his own making. He misled the country into a war to eliminate weapons of mass destruction and continues to misstate the depth of the problem in Iraq.
The president’s failure has profoundly negative consequences for Americans and Iraqis, especially Iraqi non-combatants who bear an enormous death and injury toll. Both are now bound together. Both governments are in an intractable position with no clear path forward toward peace and justice.
I don’t see Bush EVER admitting wrong. It might “send the wrong signal”. I myself believe that the voting public sent the wrong signal to the world , and this crew is NOT going to have any hand in attempting to better relations. And “Jesus” is the farthest thing from his mind (“He’s “got a job to do” ya see; he’s gotta “step back from religion”)
