I am certain he does not think he has undermined his creditability, honour or reputation and that is even sadder. He thinks IMHO that he has been duped over Iraq his various statements in UN etc and he feel his reputation over those incidents is soiled so whatever he say or does "in private" is to excoriate himself.

Sadly to most conservatives and Bush supporters he is doing the opposite and is showing that deep down his character must come into question.

I do think it's beyond Iraq. I think he is not used to having his judgment challenged.

Hi snugs! I think this is why he did not seriously run. He realizes the right will not support him other than being a bit player to support conservatives. It was a PR move to appoint him as Secretary of State, and that's the closest he will ever get to the Oval Office. It's the same fate McCain has, although in McCain's case he does learn from past mistakes.
