I Fell Far Short Of Living Up

Saddam Hussein Is Being Treated The Exact Opposite Of The Way His Regime Treated Those He Imprisoned And Tortured Simply For Expressing Their Opinions. And So I Reject That.

I Had Unknowingly Passed Along False Information. And Five Of The Highest-ranking Officials In The Administration Were Involved In My Doing So: Rove, Libby, The Vice President, The President's Chief Of Staff And The President Himself.

I Think That There's A Tendency In This Town To Try To Selectively Pick Snapshots, When The Broader Reality Is That We Have A Record Of Results And That We're Getting Things Done For The American People.

As A Texas Loyalist Who Followed Bush To Washington With Great Hope And Personal Affection And As A Proud Member Of His Administration, I Was All Too Ready To Give Him And His Highly Experienced Foreign Policy Advisers The Benefit Of The Doubt On Iraq. Unfortunately, Subsequent Events Have Showed That Our Willingness To Trust The Judgment Of Bush And His Team Was Misplaced.

Waging An Unnecessary War Is A Grave Mistake.
