Bush's accountability moment

Yesterday's acknowledgment by President Bush that he accepts responsibility for the federal government's failures in responding to Hurricane Katrina is a breakthrough for the president and for this nation. For a guy who refused to acknowledge any mistakes during the 2004 campaign, this was an act of maturity that has never before been seen in this man. Maybe W. has finally grown up.

Now if he'd only accept responsibility and work to correct another miserable government failure, the war in Iraq.
