Bush: No regrets, many mistakes

No regrets, many mistakes
Gene Lyons

"Non, je ne regrette rien."-Edith Piaf Purely to annoy President Bush's loyal supporters, all 10 or 12 of them, I propose that his administration's official theme song be sung in French.

The title of Edith Piaf's immortal ballad loses something in the translation: "No, I regret nothing." Dedicated by the chanteuse to the French Foreign Legion, it's sung to commemorate its failed effort in the Algerian War (1956-62).

Bush himself clearly regrets nothing about the United States' own misadventure in Iraq, although some news organizations, submissive to the end, portrayed his phony contrition in a recent interview with ABC News' Charles Gibson as "unusually blunt" and "stunningly candid." Uncontradicted by the deferential anchorman, Bush did concede that mistakes were made in Iraq, although not by him.

To accept responsibility for the ongoing tragedy would require an active conscience.

Alas, there's no sign the self-designated "comforter-in-chief" has one.

1. I agree about Bush's lack of conscience. Without that, there is nothing to regret.

There is no empathy, no sympathy and no consideration at all of anyone's feelings besides his own.

2. The whole world has "regrets" about the Bush regime

and he's still blaming "bad intel" on Clinton.

3. When in doubt

Blame Bill

4. No regret for over one million deaths in Iraq and the

displacement of over 4 million. If there is a hell, I hope he burns in it for his crimes against humanity.

5. Great idea to use the French Algerian connection. Theater of the Absurd: Bush's last days.

We need a thesaurus to come up with the right words to describe the ridiculousness of the bush charade during his last days.

Hopefully, Karma will hit him hard.
