Does George W. Bush have regrets?

I saw an interesting story on the always horrible HuffPo today:

Looking back on his eight years in the White House, President George W. Bush said he was "unprepared" for war and pinpointed incorrect intelligence that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction as "biggest regret of all the presidency."

"I think I was unprepared for war," Bush told ABC News' Charlie Gibson in an interview airing today on "World News."

W was a horrible president, but I think it's somewhat admirable that he regrets some of his decision making. Of course, it does nothing to erase the damage of the past 8 years, but I prefer to look at it this way: if George W. Bush had not run the country straight into the ground, I doubt that this country would have been ready to elect a black president.
