If Bush's biggest regret is no WMD in Iraq, shouldn't he apologize for joking about it?
President George W. Bush confessed he was "unprepared for war" and that the lowest point of his presidency was his administration's mistake on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.

"The biggest regret of all the presidency has to have been the intelligence failure in Iraq," the outgoing Commander-in-Chief said in an interview with ABC's Charlie Gibson to be broadcast Monday night.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- What was meant by President Bush to be a joke about the search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq has brought little laughter to some Americans.

During the annual Radio and Television Correspondents Dinner this week, Bush presented a slide show of quirky photographs from inside the White House. In one, the president is looking under furniture in the Oval Office.

"Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be somewhere," Bush joked. "Nope, no weapons over there ... maybe under here?" (Bush pokes fun at himself at dinner)

2. Why? I buy that and the Media doesn't question it
I'll have you know that I've seen the clothes on that President that
would make even Sarah Palin jealous. Her clothes are pretty good
but the pResidnet in chiefs' are even better.

Just ask Hans Christian Andersen.

3. His regret is that they didn't even find any 80's era shit he was counting on
They assumed that something would still be there, even if it was 20 years old. Too bad for him that Scott Ritter was very meticulous.
