Sorry, but wrong. He has never, not once, not ever, admitted to making a mistake while in office. As for not answering it on the spot, if you noticed, he didn't answer ANYTHING on the spot. Most of the questions he answered were not the ones that were asked. The whole q/a session was a big game of "did you make a mistake?" "Saddam is a bad man."

Yes, it is his fault, for purposely not informing himself on what's happening, and relying on those advisors to tell him everything. This also makes a great situation for Cheney and Rumsfeld, because they can call the shots, start wars with anyone they want, and generally have a wonderful time playing Army with real human lives, but in the end, it will be the ignorant leader who gets the blame.
Bush SHOULD get the blame because it's his fault that he's ignorant and it's his fault that he listens to these warmongers, but there's something apalling about Cheney and Rumsfeld being able to do this without getting in any hot water over it.
Oh, and one thing I forgot to add in my initial sum up of Bush. He's immature as hell. He allowed "freedom toast" on Air Force One. It was a juvenile anti-french craze that swept the country when France decided that fighting Iraq was not justified. If the idiots at the local deli want to do that, that's fine, but the President of the United States should be at a higher level than infantile insults.
