Maybe Bush Isn't Hopeless After All

In a rare show of humility today, President Bush offered up the following statement:

"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."

So, who exactly are you, and what have you done with our President?!?

I know this doesn't cure all that's wrong with the world, but I feel it's a good start....especially from a man who publicly acknowledged that he couldn't think of one single mistake he had made during his first term. Where this leads next is hard to say right now, but I think by making this simple statement, Bush will probably at least stop his free-falling public opinion numbers. Whether it leads to substantial change in administration policy remains to be seen. If nothing else, though, it is definitely a step in the right direction.
