Wrong. He is taking the blame for not removing the line. He did not say that he or the CIA placed that line in the SOTU speech. The plot thickents.

And, after the boss said it was his fault... what else can he possibly do other than either fall on his sword or resign? He may experience both.

This was my reaction too. The last paragraph of his statement is very telling. And if anything, it draws attention to how the line got into the speech in the first place.
