Own Up to Your Mistakes, Mr. Bush

"The soldiers I served with are men and women of extraordinary courage and incredible capability, but it's time we had leadership in Washington to match that courage and match that capability. I'm not angry with our president, but I am disappointed. I don't expect an easy solution to the situation in Iraq. I do expect an admission that there are serious problems that need serious solutions. I don't expect our leaders to be free of mistakes. I expect our leaders to own up to them." ---- former Army National Guard platoon leader Paul Rieckhoff
