Bush reflected on the iconic photograph during an interview with NBC's Matt Lauer to promote his forthcoming memoir, "Decision Points." The photo was published widely and only reinforced the view that the Bush administration didn't act quickly enough or fully grasp the severity of the problems on the ground in New Orleans

Bush's "huge mistake" was not explaining the consequences of THIS photo to the American public.

Bush's problem was that Bush simply refused to defend himself.
