Bush 'disappointed' with flawed Iraq intelligence

President George Bush said he was disappointed in “flawed intelligence” before the Iraq war and fears that if a Democrat wins the US presidency in November and withdrew troops early, it could “eventually lead to another attack on the United States”.

In an interview with the political newspaper 'Politico' and the internet portal Yahoo, Mr Bush also said he gave up golf in 2003 out of respect for US soldiers killed in the war, which has now lasted more than five years.
