Earlier this morning he sat down with NBC's Brian Williams and the conversation began with Iraq.

"You've said the, (quote), "I accept the mistakes have been made in Iraq." Prime Minister, what are they?"

"Well, these are mistakes that Tony Blair and I both accepted were British mistakes. First, first of all, we did have a problem with the Intelligence that we produced for the, for the British people and that's something that we apologized for at the time. We did have an issue that I've resolved³ now about how Intelligence is compiled⁴ within government and I think people have got to be sure that it's done in a non-political, nonpartisan way. I think it was, but I think you've got to be sure that you have a system in place that has happened. So we make some changes in the way we deal with that and, and these are changes I announced in the House of Commons only a few days ago in Britain. "
