If only George Bush had said this
The Age...
"But the consequences of my strategic miscalculations in this matter have been compounded by additional tactical miscalculations, and the sound work of our troops and the good that I hoped would come of Saddam Hussein's removal have, in the main, gone unfulfilled."

What a President should do
Internet Public Library: POTUS
There's a precedent for what a President should do if they botch a war. They should quit.

Cops of the World
Cops of the World:
"Please stay off of the grass, boys
Please stay off of the grass
Here's a kick in the ass, boys
Here's a kick in the ass
We'll smash down your doors, we don't bother to knock
We've done it before, so why all the shock?
We're the biggest and toughest kids on the block
'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys
We're the Cops of the World"
Phil Ochs, in the early 60s. The less things change, the more they stay the same.

The Misunderestimated Man
The Misunderestimated Man - How Bush chose stupidity. By Jacob Weisberg:
"Quotations collected over the years in Slate may leave the impression that George W. Bush is a dimwit. Let's face it: A man who cannot talk about education without making a humiliating grammatical mistake ('The illiteracy level of our children are appalling'); who cannot keep straight the three branches of government ('It's the executive branch's job to interpret law'); who coins ridiculous words ('Hispanos,' 'arbolist,' 'subliminable,' 'resignate,' 'transformationed'); who habitually says the opposite of what he intends ('the death tax is good for people from all walks of life!') sounds like a grade-A imbecile."
