Romney Bashes Bush for Iraq Failures

Brian Zick

CNN reports: NEW YORK (CNN) -- As former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney tries to distinguish himself from his Republican rivals in the race for president, he's also distancing himself from President Bush. On the topic of Iraq, Romney gave perhaps his strongest criticism yet of the administration in an interview with CBS' "60 Minutes." "I think the administration made a number of errors," he told interviewer Mike Wallace. But, he said, Bush isn't solely to blame. "Well, he's the person where the buck stops," Romney said, "but it goes to the secretary of defense and the planning agencies, the Department of State -- it's the whole administration."
