Outgoing US President George Bush has said his biggest regret is the failure of intelligence over Iraqi weapons.

In a wide-ranging TV interview, he declined to say whether he would have decided to invade Iraq if he had known it had no weapons of mass destruction.

Asked about what he regarded as his greatest achievement, Mr Bush said that his administration had fought a war against "ideological thugs".

Mr Bush will hand over to President-elect Barack Obama on 20 January.

The outgoing president told ABC television: "The biggest regret of all the presidency has to have been the intelligence failure in Iraq."

He added: "I wish the intelligence had been different."

Asked what his greatest accomplishment was, Mr Bush replied: "I keep recognising we're in a war against ideological thugs and keeping America safe."

He also defended his actions over the recent economic crises.

"When the history of this period is written, people will realise a lot of the decisions that were made on Wall Street took place over a decade or so," he told ABC.

Mr Bush - whose approval ratings are at an historic low - said he was happy for history to be his judge.

"I will leave the presidency with my head held high," he said.

At least he was humble enough to accept that the war that caused priceless lives of young men and women was a big mistake.

just a saving-face strategy...

probably but I'd rather think he meant it.

yes, he meant it so to save his face...it's a confession of guilt and people can forgive more to that kind of behaviour than his trying to hide the truth, which is tantamount to undermining the intelligence of the people.

na luoy jud ko pero unsaon ta man nga nagpadala man gud sha sa ijang mga ka-republican...

You know guys, It is really hard to be a leader. How much more if your're The President of the United States of America.

Tan-awa na si Barry after 2 terms ma puti sad ang buhok ana nija...

di bitaw sayon, pero, grabe na man sad ning ilang sayop nga gibuhat sa ubang mga nasud like Afghanistan o Iraq. human sa daghang kinabuhi ang naangol, ingon lang ka nga sayop ang ilang intel? (sorry if im being simplistic).
