Bush Regrets Saying Bring 'em on

Q Mr. President, you spoke about missteps and mistakes in Iraq. Could I ask both of you which missteps and mistakes of your own you most regret?PRESIDENT BUSH: Sounds like kind of a familiar refrain here -- saying bring it on, kind of tough talk, you know, that sent the wrong signal to people. I learned some lessons about expressing myself maybe in a little more sophisticated manner -- you know, wanted dead or alive, that kind of talk. I think in certain parts of the world it was misinterpreted, and so I learned from that. And I think the biggest mistake that's happened so far, at least from our country's involvement in Iraq is Abu Ghraib. We've been paying for that for a long period of time. And it's -- unlike Iraq, however, under Saddam, the people who committed those acts were brought to justice. They've been given a fair trial and tried and convicted.- George W. Bush, Press Conference, May 26, 2006 http://donhodges.com/bush%20says%20bring%20them%20on.html
