This was not an apology. It was an attempt to shift blame. Saying that he apologises for bad intelligence is essentially blaming the intelligence services (who actually told him that the war would promote terrorism). He also apologised for the aftermath, but clarified his position by essentially blaming the Iraqi government for the rise of sectarian tensions - shifting the blame for that too. It wasn't an apology. What he was saying was 'it weren't me guv!'.
