I think that, in part, the point was that, since he wasn't involved in many of the
specific decisions that went awry, and instead was responsible for oversight/installing morons into office/general cohesion, he's saying that he's taking responsibility for the failure of those things, even though he wasn't the 'trigger man' for much of the poor decision making (and was never meant to be).
In that way, I think it's more important than a by-rote apology (which could be just as insincere), as instead it's at least tacitly admitting that errors were made and that he is ultimately at the top of the blame ladder.
It also could have been rhetoric.
