The man who emerges is a narcissist with no self-awareness whatsoever. It’s that arrogance that allowed him to tune out even the most calamitous of realities, freeing him to compound them without missing a step. The president who famously couldn’t name a single mistake of his presidency at a press conference in 2004 still can’t.

Bush follows in a long line of politicians who refused to admit to any mistakes. Here a quote from one of the most famous generals / politicians of them all, Napoleon.
"In politics... never retreat, never retract... never admit a mistake."
It works as a political strategy, but is reprehensible as an ethical philosophy.
