Bush takes responsibility for remarks in State of the Union
President Bush for the first time took personal responsibility for using discredited intelligence in the State of the Union address while predicting a vindication for going to war in Iraq. He warned of real al Qaida threats including possible airline attacks and urged patience as Iraq moves toward a new society. He noted progress from tax cuts and stressed ongoing war on terror. He also discussed ties to al Qaida and North Korea, and spoke with Hu Jintao to press Pyongyang to curb nuclear ambitions.
