Guys, there is nothing new, here. Bush and Rumsfeld previously used the same tactic of taking the blame to divert attention from other issues, when the Iraqi prison abuse scandal first broke. Once they'd admitted to errors, they said nothing more was to be discussed. And in any case, he's merely repeating what he's said before: that if intelligence was faulty, he would see that it is improved. He never admitted that he turned away the counsel of several advisors at the time who said the intelligence was bad.
And finally, the real part of the message: to reiterate that he made the right decision to go into Iraq. That was all he wanted to do: get another photo op in which he could restate that nonsense ad nauseum.
So who cares about this nonsense?
