Bush can't recognize a confession, regret ....or "something."

CNN.com - Bush: Comments had 'unintended consequence' - Jan 14, 2005: "WASHINGTON (AP) --

In the debates, both candidates were asked to admit a mistake. Bush never answered the question leaving me with the concern that maybe he was such a dry drunk he couldn't see his own faults.

Now, Bush has come to admit a mistake...an unintended one of course...but he's not sure he regrets it.

President Bush says he now sees that tough talk can have an 'unintended
consequence.'

During a round-table interview with reporters from 14
newspapers, the president, who not long ago declined to identify any mistakes
he'd made during his first term, expressed misgivings for two of his most famous
expressions: 'Bring 'em on,' in reference to Iraqis attacking U.S. troops, and
his vow to get Osama bin Laden 'dead or alive.'

I think his much more "famous" expression was when he flew in on an air craft carrier at great expense to the US and the minds of the rest of us because of the obscene media coverage with the words... Mission Accomplished displayed on a banner.

'Sometimes, words have consequences you don't intend them to mean,' Bush said
Thursday. ''Bring 'em on' is the classic example, when I was really trying to
rally the troops and make it clear to them that I fully understood, you know,
what a great job they were doing. And those words had an unintended consequence.
It kind of, some interpreted it to be defiance in the face of danger. That
certainly wasn't the case.'

'I don't know if you'd call it a regret, but
it certainly is a lesson that a president must be mindful of, that the words
that you sometimes say. ... I speak plainly sometimes, but you've got to be
mindful of the consequences of the words. So put that down. I don't know if
you'd call that a confession, a regret, something.'

Well, it's good to know we can expect nothing NEW form the president. This little gem is a perfect example of the short circuit between his central nervous system and his mouth. "It's not regret! ...it's a lesson! Lesson, lesson, I say...not a confession. Forget regret, I have 'something' to say."

'The inauguration is a great festival of democracy,' he said. 'People are going
to come from all over the country who are celebrating democracy and celebrating
my victory, and I'm glad to celebrate with them.'

Mr. Bush, you're just lucky HALF the country isn't coming and that you have you goons in place to make sure no one with a Kerry/Edwards "sign" on their heart can get near the event! You might become a Bush omelet again. Once again with our Attorney General and others, this is not a "threat" it's an observation documented in Fahrenheit 9-11

Oh, and he couldn't take away his little "event" from his Daughter!
