Mrs Bush admits husband's errors

First Lady Laura Bush admitted in a TV interview that her husband had made some mistakes as President of the United States .

But she would not be drawn into saying exactly what he had done wrong.

In the hour-long talk with CNN chat show host Larry King, Mrs Bush also said she feared another close call in next month's presidential election.

When asked if it was strange that her husband had never admitted making mistakes, she replied: "Well, no, I mean, he said, of course, he made mistakes. And that's what he said.

" He said ' I'm human and I've made a lot of mistakes, there's no doubt about it and history will judge what they are'."

She told King that being asked to name the mistakes was "a trick question".

Tonight President Bush will face Democratic rival John Kerry in the final pre-election presidential debate.
