Reflecting on His Tenure, Bush
Shows New Candor
President Bush, who has long brushed aside questions about his legacy, is opening up a bit during his final weeks in office.
And in a separate television interview, the president was unusually blunt in identifying shortcomings during his tenure -- saying that his "biggest regret" was getting the intelligence wrong in Iraq, and conceding that he was not ready to be a wartime president when he first took office.
"I think I was unprepared for war," Bush said during the interview with ABC News, which was broadcast last night.
