Decisions are made based upon what is known @ the time. Its always easy to say something was a mistake in hindsight BUT that doesn't mean it was a mistake. Good leaders take corrective measures and move on. That is what President Bush has been doing. After all it was a "slam dunk" Sadamn had WMD.

Again, if you're so disconcerted by a person who, in your words, eschews admitting mistakes, how can you support Kerry? I didn't say that I was disconcerted about Bush not admitting to mistakes. I realize that reading my posts can be challenging, but here is what I said. <<I think that apologizing is stupid, too. And admitting mistakes is fraught with political peril. But the thoughtful acknowledgement of complexity and up and down sides (and it's cohort that includes complexity and nuance) is a very healthy thing. Watching a president eschew it is disconcerting.>> And I don't support Kerry. I simply voted against Bush.
