Once again, Charlie lays the hammer right on the nail.

These libreals make me sick! War is coming keep pushing it :(

[Route66]

Do we want someone who sits around second guessing himself or a man who takes all the info at his disposal and leads. Just one "I'm sorry for....." from him and his opponents will crucify him with it. I'm certainly glad he has not bought into this lame blame game.

[liberallarry]

Krauthammer nails it.

Wartime failures shouldn't be characterized that way. In war - more than in most areas of life - one must act fast on incomplete information. Success is far from guaranteed and continued and unbroken success is miraculous.

But I would like to know why we didn't do more to stop the post-conquest looting. That was extremely damaging to our subsequent efforts.

I recall a president who made plenty of mistakes and never admitted one. His name was Lincoln.

Iraq was a country utterly ruined by Saddam Hussein.

I think that the bombs that the US dropped had something to do with ruining the county. Don't you?

[marron]

I don't want Bush to be my daddy, I elected him to lead.

I don't want him to apologize for what my enemies have done, I want him to hunt them down and destroy them.

What was the next morning's Washington Post headline? WOLFOWITZ GIVES NUANCED ASSESSMENT OF IRAQ SITUATION? No. WOLFOWITZ CONCEDES IRAQ ERRORS, followed by a brief for the Administration's critics.

What the presstitutes at that news conference wanted was for Bush to make an ad for the Kerry campaign, the most effective one that it could ever have. Bush didn't feel like it and certainly was not obligated to do so.

[TheLion]

Bush should have asked the reporters to apologize for their biased war coverage and the dumb questions they keep asking.

[Spok]

Clinton had a very clear policy on apologies-he only apologized for things that happened before he was born.

[ladyinred]

Very good article!
I hope the President doesn't ever apolgize for anything, unless it is for not busting a few media members in the chops!

[lizma]

Did you know that Clintoon apologized to the Hawaiian for our "occupation"?

Of coarse he never would apologize for anything that happened on his watch. More like "Hey Janet, We need you to due your stooge thing again."

[sport]

Why should he say he is sorry?

[Old Grumpy]

NO apologies. Bush has nothing to apologize for.

[Smartass]

[ride the whirlwind]

Why won't Bush say he's sorry? Think of what the response would be

His interrogators at AP, New York Slimes, WSJ, LA Times, and Terry Moran of ABC News, David Gregory of NBC and John Roberts of CBS, etc. would all do a happy dance. Can't have that!

[Wolfstar]

During his eight years as president, Bill Clinton went around the world apologizing for the United States at the drop of a hat. What did it buy us? Fewer terrorist attacks? More love, respect and cooperation from the "international community?" Or scorn from our enemies?

If anyone other than the jihadists need to apologize, it is our hopelessly Left-skewed media for their betrayal of the American people over and over again.

The Trouble With Apologies Why won't Bush say he's sorry? Think of what the response would be

Time is a propaganda rag

[GoLightly]

Reporters are not interested in reporting news. Instead they try to make the news & in the process have become a parody of themselves.

[Freee-dame]

es, we erred. Perhaps we should not have disbanded the Iraqi army.

I thought that the Iraqi army just took off their uniforms and went home. It's tough to disband an army that has disappeared.
