Never before has Bush admitted his mistakes. Finally, this President allows the buck to stop at him when he apologized to the whole country for his turtle speed response to the Katrina disaster.

It’s been five years that this President has no single apology to the American people for his mistakes because in his strong conviction, he believes that he has never committed any of them in his Presidency. When he was interviewed last year before the Presidential Election to name the mistakes that he had done during his first term Presidency, he said he could not think of one.

Apparently, he does not think the 9/11 catastrophe was his mistake when his administration was overwhelmed by the evidence of Al Qaeda’s plan to attack the United States. Again the failure of searching for the weapon of mass destructions in Iraq is not his mistake when he used this reason to invade Iraq. Thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians have been perished. Thousand of young American soldiers have sacrificed their life in the name of the democracy. Bush has never apologized to those lives or families for his own engineered war.

He is a strong and unapologetic leader.

The Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal caused the United States international credential. There was tons of evidence that the government did abuse those detainees. Again, he did not admit for that wrongdoing.

Then Katrina hit the Gulf States, hundreds of people have died from this Administration response failure. Again, Bush did not apologize to those victims at first for his failure; instead, he gave the former FEMA director- Michael Brown with an A plus praise. However, once he sees his popularity sinking under the water like New Orleans, his strong leadership being shaken by his mishandling the disaster and the tremendous pressures from every direction, finally, he apologized to the American people in the National TV.

It takes hundreds of lives, more than 100 billion of dollars and his sinking poll number to make Bush admit his mistakes.
