The Washington Times<\/a> writes that President Bush, in an interview with a reporter from the Saudi-run Middle East Broadcasting Center accepts some blame for the Abu Ghraib scandal;<\/p>\n

President Bush for the first time took a measure of responsibility for the 2004 Abu Ghraib prison scandal in Iraq, during an interview with an Arabic TV network.<\/p>\n

“Abu Ghraib was a terrible disappointment. And admittedly, I wasn’t there on the site, but I was the Commander-in-Chief of a military where these disgraceful acts took place that sent the absolute wrong image about America and our military,” Mr. Bush said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I understand that President Bush is trying to firm up his legacy, but I’m not sure I like this new guy in the White House. Yes, he’s the commander-in-chief, and yes, he bears a small measure of responsibility because he’s the commander, but not to the extent he admits.<\/p>\n

It was a crime committed by seven dimwits who claimed they didn’t know that naked pyramids were\u00a0 somehow inappropriate. And then they were so stupid, they took pictures of their antics and emailed the photos around to their friends. Their friends knew it was wrong – so why didn’t the perpetrators know it was wrong? They all received the same Law of Land Warfare class in Basic Training.<\/p>\n

Yeah, it did damage the image of the military, but only because the US media ran the pictures day-in-and-day-out – like the flushed Koran fairietale – to purposely damage the country and the military and fan the violence in Iraq.<\/p>\n

I’m waiting 9with unabated breath) for the New York Times and Washington Post apologize for their behavior during this war.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
