I don't know what POTUS you're talking about, but the consensus about GWB is that he is decidedly reticent to admit errors. That's pretty much exactly what this thread is about.
Yesterday he "took responsibility for the wrong intelligence" that took us to war--and it was
shocking that he did so. All the news agencies just about shit themselves. The one other time in his entire term to date was when he "took responsibility" for the cluster-fuck of the Katrina recovery. That moment was equally gasp-inducing. Note that in neither case did he actually change his approach to or view of these issues. The Katrina recovery is an ongoing, though now overshadowed, cluster-fuck, and however wrong he was about Iraq, he was still right. So, okay. Take responsibility. Great. Thanks for that.
ace, it looks to me like you looked at this whole thread, including the cover article of a major weekly news magazine, and said, "Nope!"
Really! That pretty much appears to be your response! "Nope!"
Forgive me for not being convinced by that!
