The question wasn't obvious, and almost all potential answers have to be weighted against whether he is really blaming someone else, and whether the "admission" isn't harmful strategically.
Example: one Mistake is we kept some innocent non-dangerous people in Gitmo (note I'm not trying to sound marine, I just don't have clue 1 how to even approximate the spelling).
how does Bush say " we kept some people we shouldn't have kept." Really he's blaming some intelligence officer.
" I thought there were WMD in iraq." Now this is what the reporter wanted, but this isn't really a mistake- everyone else did too.
