Bush's blunders in Iraq

October 26, 2004

THE BOSTON GLOBE EDITORIAL

WHEN President Bush declined to answer a debate question about mistakes he made in his first term, it indicated more than a personal idiosyncracy. His unwillingness to confront past errors reflected a penchant for self-deception that has been characteristic of his administration, particularly in regard to its lethal blunders in Iraq.

A frightening example of those unacknowledged errors is the failure to prevent the theft of nearly 380 tons of powerful explosives from a well-known site in Iraq. Such blunders must be acknowledged so that similar mistakes will not be made in the future.

        Yes, those pesky eye witnesses get in the way of agenda driven news. And I am sure you still think the documents were 'fake but accurate'. You seem to enjoy a diet of bs, Don. (n/t) - ebnelson - 10/26/2004 2:52:51 PM

- Bush cover-up exposed - Donald - 10/26/2004 1:48:46 PM
