I don't know what to say save that I can see that he'd confirm what the plan never was, etc., but if he said he had no regrets, that seems to be the only issue. I don't doubt he might have stated "no regrets" more recently for that film, still, I'm sure he stated it significantly differently than that, back a year or two after the war. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and guess from memory that his statement looked something like this..."I'd say now in retrospect, it was a mistake not getting Saddam, we should have taken him out, but no, I don't regret my decisions of the time."
Double Speak?
Well, TheHammer, who I posted to, agrees he said it, at any rate. Maybe someone else can remember it.
