It kinda looks like they were purposefully editing things in a way to make him look even more stupid than he is. I'd like to see the entire transcript.

On mistakes made in his first term:
Ms. Bumiller: At your last big press conference, you said that you couldn't think of any mistakes you had made. It's been about three or four months. Can you think of any now? It's been a long time.

THE PRESIDENT: You mean other than having this interview?

He was good on the North Korea issue, but all the other questions he dodged way too much.

Were the dashes because they cut things out, or because he was pausing?

Because he was pausing, I am fairly sure. He tends to stop and rephrase himself mid-sentence.

I also think it's interesting that he admitted that he "miscalculated" the situation in Iraq and post-war Iraq, etc. That to me says absolutely nothing. Some people tend to think he deserves 'credit' for admitting he was 'wrong.'

In my eyes, however, there is no excuse for risking the lives of thousands of innocent Americans in Iraq. You simply CANNOT miscalculate something this big, and important.

I tend to disagree.

There is no way to certainly tell how the future is going to go.

And by the way he was talking about what he expected to occur, it seems he was expecting more lives to be lost and more damage to be done to the country of Iraq.

I don't think the problem is the amount of people dead, but more the longevity of the entire war.

If just as many people, or even twice as many, had died, but the war ended four months ago, very few would be complaining I think.
