Naaaaaahhh...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Secretary of State-designate Condoleezza Rice said on Wednesday the Bush administration made some bad decisions in Iraq and was unprepared for stabilizing the country in a rare acknowledgment of mistakes.

"We have made a lot of decisions in this period of time. Some of them have been good, some of them have not been good, some of them have been bad decisions, I am sure," Rice told the committee.

She did not specify what were the bad decisions but said in at least one case, "We didn't have the right skills, the right capacity, to deal with a reconstruction effort of this kind."

This is what passes for an admission of responsibility with this administration. "I'm sure we made some mistakes. Can't think of any off the top of my head, but yeah, I guess it's possible."

The second part is better, but falls far short of what is really called for, namely, that the person making these admissions isn't made the freaking Secretary of State, and that she and the rest of her criminally negligent and lying cohorts are water boarded in prime time.
