As to Bush's war time leadership, the best Eggen can offer is Bush's statement in an interview with ABC that he wishes "the intelligence had been different" on Iraq. Bush added that this intelligence failure is his "biggest regret." But Bush didn't collect the intelligence; he simply relied on the intelligence collected and analyzed by others. The fact that he wishes the intelligence community had served up better intel is not much of a mea culpa. I regret that the restaurant where I had lunch today didn't serve up a better meal, but I mostly blame the restaurant.
