"It is true that much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong. As president I am responsible for the decision to go into Iraq," Bush said. "And I'm also responsible for fixing what went wrong by reforming our intelligence capabilities. And we're doing just that."

finally !!!

maybe now he will fire rummy. if he were 100% on this, rumsfeld would be in cancun this weekend enjoying a nice long vacation.

I've actually heard that Rummy intends to "resign" very soon, likely by the middle of January. Front runners to succeed him include his second in command (name escapes me right now) and Lieberman. I guess he's been waiting for the Iraqi elections, then he'll bow out as quietly as possible. I'm sure Bush will give him some sort of medal or something on his way out...

It's quite amazing how so many have srewed up, yet most still have their jobs.

Seems no one is being held accountable.

We can only wish.

Re: its about damn time the idiot said it.

my treatment to saddam and the rest of the world would be to rebuild his castle with better plumbing and give the place back to him.

Re: its about damn time the idiot said it.

Maybe that explains Lieberman's recent take on the war efforts. However, I agree that Bush sticks by his people(a good quality of a manager btw), so I guess if Rumsfeld wants to stay then it's doubtful Bush will fire him.

Back to the President, it seems like he's been on a roll to pump up his approval numbers recently with exclusive interviews with NBC, Fox, and probably others. Also, this admission of a mistake is another example to help his poll numbers. And his numbers are up recently, so it is working. I'm guessing that if the Iraqi elections go well then he'll get higher ratings.

So Rumsfeld if the fall guy? I love how they use their pawns.

Re: its about damn time the idiot said it.

So Rumsfeld if the fall guy?

No way. He'll be lauded for all he's done for the country. No way will his leaving be tied to anything having even the most remote suggestion that anything went wrong.

hmmmm. thats a good idea. america should go around the world promoting good plumbing and not democracy. good plumbing could be the answer to world peace. all the places with hot beds of terror and problems have bad plumbing. you could be onto something.

Re: its about damn time the idiot said it.

somebody needs to tell bush that the costly mistake he made, killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people, over 2 thousand soldiers that had nothing no say in the war of iraq and billions of dollars of tax payers money.

Nevermind says bush, lets reform our intelligence agency so we can attack Iran.

So when and where was Clinton held responsible for lieing under oath. He was impeached for lieing, but was he held responsible.

NO!

Not to mention all the scandals of that administration. ChinaGate, HillaryMediGate, oh, I've forgotten them all now, something like 10 total.

Not to mention all the links that tie the Clinton adminstration and their foul-ups, but of course its all Bush's fault, while there are country's dancing in the street rejoicing for the freedom they are having with elections and democracy.

If I was Rumsfeld, I would take a break to pat myself on the back for 'a job well done'.

Iraq is winning that war with the help of Allies, whether or not you all like it. They will succeed, because once freedom begins, you can't take it away.

Maybe some here should go live in Iran!
