I BLEW IT...BUT NOW YOU SHOULD TRUST ME...

President Bush acknowledged for the first time Wednesday that he erred by not ordering a military buildup in
Iraq last year and said he was increasing U.S. troops by 21,500 to quell the country's near-anarchy. "Where mistakes have been made, the responsibility rests with me," Bush said.

The buildup puts Bush on a collision course with the new Democratic Congress and pushes the American troop presence in Iraq toward its highest level. It also runs counter to widespread anti-war passions among Americans and the advice of some top generals.
