The last press conference of W. Bush

George W. Bush recognized he made some mistakes, but praised his eight years in office as a "good, strong record", at his last press conference held Monday, January 12, at the White House. His few regrets: the handling of Iraq - Abu Ghraib, "a huge disappointment" -, the reaction in the case of Hurricane Katrina or the choice, after the 2004 elections, to focus on Social Security reform instead of first addressing immigration issues.

On Thursday night he's expected to deliver a farewell address, a ritual dating to George Washington.
