Yesterday President Bush admitted that he was responsible for sending our country to war on bad intelligence. What gets me is that he still thinks that invading Iraq was the right thing to do regardless. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t see how the ends justify the means. Is Iraq better off?

He of all people should be able to see that this is little more than a ploy to up the President’s ratings while not actually admitting wrongdoing. Bush even had the audacity to claim credit for fixing the problems with intelligence that his administration created in the first place! At least it hasn’t seemed to have an effect yet. NBC mentioned this morning that the President’s approval ratings were down to 36% with 60% disaproving of his job performance.

I’ve wanted an iPod Nano since it first came out. I picked one up a couple of weeks ago and I love it! Apple’s new mighty mite is every bit as capable as its larger siblings.
