'Accountability moment' has passed, president says WTF?
Bush says election ratified Iraq policy
President Bush speaks to The Washington Post during an interview Friday in the conference room aboard Air Force One
President Bush said the public's decision to reelect him was a ratification of his approach toward Iraq and that there was no reason to hold any administration officials accountable for mistakes or misjudgments in prewar planning or managing the violent aftermath.

<snip>
No timetable for withdrawal
With the Iraq elections two weeks away and no signs of the deadly insurgency abating, Bush set no timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops and twice declined to endorse Secretary of State Colin L. Powell's recent statement that the number of Americans serving in Iraq could be reduced by year's end.
<snip>
Inauguration costs defended
"By providing security, hopefully that will provide comfort to people who are coming from all around the country to come and stay in the hotels in Washington and to be able to watch the different festivities in Washington, and eat the food in Washington," Bush said. "I think it provides them great comfort to know that all levels of government are working closely to make this event as secure as possible."
<snip>
Pleased with bin Laden hunt
I am pleased about the hunt, and I am pleased he's isolated," Bush said.

It's OK if you're a Republican.

4. Nixon said 72 election was 'Accountability moment' & Watergate over
Since Bush seems to be using the Nixon words - perhaps the Nixon future awaits -

Oh wait, I forgot about our current bought and paid for media.

Perhaps Bush, unlike Nixon, can assert, and have the media back off.
