The media attacks this President no matter what he says or does so he might as well do the right thing and point out that what these particular soldiers did was wrong. In the media's estimation, he didn't do enough because he DIDN'T apologize. The media, as it covers up for John Kerry, will never be a friend to this administration. CNN is acting as though President Bush doesn't really mean anything he is saying to the Arab world; that it is merely damage control. Is that sickening or what? They have their DNC talking points and they're sticking to them. He was also slammed for not going on Al Jazeera! The media works for the terrorists and everybody should realize that by now.
As far as the Arab world views us, his appearance will change a few minds...every mind counts at this point. There would be a lot more hatred out there if he did not address this situation at all - and our media would assist the Arab media in their quest to bring down this President. The elite media is doing a good enough job already.
The Arabs are also seeing porno pictures on TV misrepresented as rape by our troops. I wonder if they will think that the President's personal attention to this matter gives the pictures validity.
