“Bush [said] during a 30-minute interview that he made “a miscalculation of what
the conditions would be” in post-war Iraq.
“The Times said Bush deflected further inquiries as to what had gone wrong with the occupation.
“In an interview published on Friday in USA Today, Bush said that Americans will re-elect him to a second term even if they disagree with his decision to invade Iraq.
Bush said voters ‘know who I am and I believe they’re comfortable with the fact that they know I’m not going to shift principles or shift positions based upon polls and focus groups.'”
I think we know that Bush isn’t going to shift principles based on anything in the world. The man is simply incapable of changing his mind, admitting he was wrong, and backing off. He must be the most arrogant, self-centered leader of his generation. Maybe getting handed a dis-appointment (implying that he was appointed by the Supreme Court in 2000) by the voters in November will get his attention.
