>> Man, that really is true of Bush, isn't it? Asked in a Press Conference whether he could think of any mistakes he had made during his Presidency, he stood there like a mute. That's one press conference not a pattern of behavior.<< Tim - Yes, that's only one example. But there is a very definite pattern of behavior. Even in the article somebody found and posted here where Bush supposedly does admit to a mistake, what he says is that "mistakes were made" (not saying by whom) and we're dealing with "minutiae". He also goes on to say that he would do the same thing over again. So that's hardly admitting that he made a mistake, is it? A lot of people, including some Republicans, have said recently that if we had known in 2002 what we know now about Iraq's lack of WMD, there wouldn't have even been a vote to authorize the use of force. I first heard that said by a Republican, and thought it was a good, candid statement. I have since heard Hilary Clinton say the same thing. What this shows us is that some people are open to changing their views based on new information. Not being open to that isn't being "principled". At best, it's just being stubborn. - Allen
