The buck finally stops?
Finally, after weeks of letting the blame get passed around his administration for including false information in his State of the Union address, Bush finally decided to take responsibility for it being there.
After weeks of shifting blame to others, President Bush on Wednesday took personal responsibility for the much-challenged claim that Iraq had attempted to acquire uranium for a nuclear bomb. But he maintained that the ultimate decision to go to war was based on “good, solid, sound intelligence.”
That’s great, but, of course, a real leader would have taken the heat right away, rather than let the blame fall on various subordinates. I’m still glad to finally hear him admit that he’s a liar though.
