But says invasion was still justified.
Bush Says Iraq War Was Justified Even Though Intelligence Wrong
quote:
``It is true that much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong,'' Bush said today in the final speech in a series intended to outline his Iraq strategy. ``Given Saddam's history and the lessons of September the 11th, my decision to remove Saddam Hussein was the right decision.''
quote:
``I am responsible for the decision to go into Iraq,'' the president said at the Woodrow Wilson International Center in Washington. ``I'm also responsible for fixing what went wrong by reforming our intelligence capabilities, and we're doing just that.''
Yeah sure, they were the ones that shouted down or even fired anyone who offered a dissenting assessment of Saddam's capabilities. They wanted this war so badly that they hand-picked, exaggerated and willingly used flimsy or false intelligence in order to get it. Now Bush is going to lead the movement in to the reforming of these agencies?

Another 100 billion down the s!@# chute.
Pentagon may request up to $100 billion more for wars
quote:
The Pentagon is in the early stages of drafting a wartime request for up to $100 billion more for Iraq and Afghanistan, lawmakers say, a figure that would push spending related to the wars toward a staggering half-trillion dollars.
quote:
Murtha mentioned the $100 billion figure last week, saying, "Twenty years it's going to take to settle this thing. The American people are not going to put up with it, can't afford it."
