Can He Sleep at Night?

George W. Bush told ABC News recently that his biggest regret of his presidency is the intelligence failure that led to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Bush told interviewer Charles Gibson that "the biggest regret of all the presidency has to have been the intelligence failure in Iraq. A lot of people put their reputations on the line and said the weapons of mass destruction is a reason to remove Saddam Hussein."

Bush basically was saying the Iraq war was unnecessary.

But his concern was for reputations (presumably of public officials), not the unnecessary deaths of more than 4,200 Americans and countless Iraqis who were killed once we set foot in their country.

As the father of a Marine killed in Iraq, I have some questions:

What kind of madness is this?

Where is his morality?

What is wrong with Americans who voted for him?

Can he sleep at night?
