Yahoo! News - Bush Takes Responsibility for Iraq Claim: "'I take personal responsibility for everything I say, absolutely,' the president said at a White House news conference "

Let's see if he means to be held responsible for every word he speaks. If not this statement is another misleading lie, meant to divert attention away from his actions and his accountability for them.

With responsibility comes accountability. Now that you have assumed responsibility for misleading us, Mr. Bush, will you accept the consequences of your actions? That's my question.

He's pretty good at warning others, such as Saddam, that there will be "consequences", but seems to hold himself above the idea that he should be accountable. That's probably one of his defining characteristics, in my opinion.
