Bush admits he went to war on faulty intelligence
On the eve of the first parliamentary elections in Iraq, President Bush on Wednesday accepted full responsibility for invading the country on faulty intelligence.
But, in the last of four speeches designed to underscore the stakes in Iraq nearly three years after the invasion, Bush looked back only long enough to reiterate his long-standing assertion that toppling Saddam Hussein was the “right decision.”
The special commission that Bush appointed to investigate the prewar intelligence lapses concluded last March that the administration had been “dead wrong” about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq – the president’s primary justification for the invasion. And the president has embraced its recommendations, vowing to fix the problems.
