The President should NOT apologize -

- let al Queda apologize

- the press would have a field day and would never let it go
- what is it with the libs that they want an apology? Like that will make everything that happened on 911 suddenly better?

- there's a war on and mistakes will be made. As far as the situation in Iraq right now, I wonder if some of this has been rope-a-dope, letting the terrorists mass so it's easier to get them all together in one place for better and easier targeting. There's so much info we don't get.

I'd call it decisiveness

They hate that. Much too manly.

The left must have been conditioned by Clinton's endless appologies for his actions and appologies for things he had no business appologizing for.

Did F.D.R. apologize for Pearl Harbor — a military attack on a military base by a military force already at war? No. He placed blame entirely on the empire of Japan, then promised to reduce it to rubble. Which he did.

And which he should have. It was entirely Japan's fault.

Did President Bill Clinton take responsibility — let alone apologize for Oklahoma City? No. In fact, he laid the dead at the feet of "loud and angry voices in America today," joining a chorus of liberals in blaming the bombing on the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich for allegedly encouraging militias.

To this day I believe that OKC was a clinton plot designed to discredit the right. clinton should have apologized (and should be burning right now after being executed for treason)

In August 1945, Harry Truman made the weightiest presidential decision of the 20th century. He later said he never lost a night's sleep over dropping the Bomb on Hiroshima. For that, some critics to this day condemn him for lack of reflectiveness — and worse.

The residents of Hiroshima were enemies. Why lose sleep over killing enemies in wartime? It's what you are supposed to do.

Exactly. John F*ckin' is a Waffler. And we cannot afford a waffler as President in a wartime situation.
