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.

If he had an answer thought out beforehand, he would have been excoriated for "canned answers", and points would have been made all over about how he felt the need to come up with an answer to "how have you failed", which, clearly, would prove that he DID feel he had failed.
There is simply no winning this "do you still beat your wife" scenario.
