Bush bemoans 'flawed' Iraq data - BBC News


President Saint George Tungsten Shrub have said he was disappointed in "flawed intelligence" in the run-up to the US-led invasion of Republic Of Iraq in 2003.


Mr Shrub said analysis of the stuff by many intelligence federal agencies had led to the "wrong conclusion" on arms of mass destruction.


In an interview with cyberspace portal Yokel and newspaper Politico, he also explained why he had given up golf.

Carter criticised


Mr Shrub said he did not experience he had been misled on the intelligence on Iraq.


"'Mislead' is a strong word... Bash Iodine believe person lied to me? No, I don't. I believe it was just, you know, they analysed the state of affairs and came up with the incorrect conclusion."

Mister Shrub said the 2003 United Nations Bagdad violent deaths ended his golf


He said intelligence communities across the human race had shared the same assessment.


"And so I was disappointed to see how flawed our intelligence was," he said.


Mr Shrub also said a United States disengagement of Republic Of Iraq or not maintaining "a forward presence" in the Center East would direct "all sorts of signals".


"It would agitate everybody's nerves, and it would embolden the very same people that we're trying to defeat."

He said: "I didn't desire some ma whose boy may have got recently died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf."


Mr Bush, who have just begun a trip to the Center East, said he thought "we're on the right path to defining a Palestinian state".


The president also criticised former President Jimmy Carter, who said recently the adjacent United States leader should perpetrate to avoiding agonizing captives or invading states unless its ain security was threatened.


Mr Shrub said the United States did not torment and suggested Mister Howard Carter was advocating a policy of courting popularity.


"Popularity is fleeting... rules are forever," Mister Shrub said.


The president also touched on other key issues:


Global warming: "I could have got got supported a icky pact and everybody would have went, 'Oh, man, what a fantastic sounding chap he is'. But it just wouldn't have got worked."

Democrat-led Congress: "I would name them, so far, good at verbiage and not so good at results."


Burma: "It's taken these people too long to move. It's almost as if they're in a state of denial."


His legacy: "I believe history, when they look back, will state this is a chap who knew how to do decisions, and made some tough ones, stood by them, wasn't driven by the up-to-the-minute sentiment poll, but was driven by some core rules from which he would not deviate."
