President Bushj says he is sorry for the humiliation suffered by Iraqi prisoners at the hands of U.S. troops. Details soon.

"It didn't need to be insulting; your own words proved you don't know what you're talking about.

If you think that's insulting, talk to yourself."

Well, I give you credit, you managed one semi-decent post. Then you blew it again.

[Howlin]

Give it up. You're beating a deadhorse 400 posts later.

[Brad’s Gramma]

And it'll continue to be testy the closer to the election we get....and for that I AM sorry.

Sheesh. Nip nip nip, nipping at each other's heels.

[Howlin]

See 452.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Bingo, Rintense.

[Howlin]

I think you're a retread.

This isn't a chat room.

The image you posted is fetishistic pornography for homosexuals and other perverts. In the real world, normal people do not force other people to become subjects for fetishistic pornography.

This is not OK. It is not normal. It is sick and twisted sexual perversion.

Sheesh. Nip nip nip, nipping at each other's heels.

Like Pit Yorkies in desperate need of a walk!

He did it to save lives! He sucked it up being the leader he is and took it in the pride for you and me! He did in an effort to reduce the Islam-o- fascists hold on anti Americanism. He did to save US Troops. He knows he must continue the War on Terror even at HIS OWN expense! He sacrificed in the WOT for me and my family.

Bush is a politician who just stuck his foot in his mouth and gave us John Kerry. He ain't Jesus Christ, despite what the Bush kneepad crew says.

Bookmarked. GOP game over thread.

I think Abdullah looks like Jerry Mathers.

Does anyone remember when BJC was in office he blamed deaths of servicemen on suicide or that they were in areas they weren't supposed to be?

[No Blue States]

Does it always get like this as the lection approaches?

[ohioWfan]

LOL! Name ONE person who is stupid enough to NOT vote for the President's reelection because he said he was sorry this had happened??

Give me a break!

Ted is a waste of skin...

Bush did the right thing. When someone on your team screws up, you acknowledge the mistake, explain that you are sorry it happened and promise to do your best to make sure it doesn't happen again. Those who will attack Bush, as if this is weakness, are mistaken.

When it's time to kick butt, you do it. When it's time to acknowledge some mistakes, you do it.

This isn't Bush's mistake, but he speaks for our nation.

Now, don't wallow in it any longer. Move on Mr. President. If the press tries not to let you, just tell them that you have acknowledged the mistake, you have appologized and you have taken steps to make sure it doesn't happen again. Then ask them what part of that they're having a problem with?

"That's all I can do. It's over. Get over it!"

[Howlin]

Imagine coming up with something comparable.

[Monty22]

Even I think that's a little overboard.. But this is quite a bad week for Republicans. Worse I've seen since Bush 1 lost.

[faithincowboys]

So have you committed any random acts of kindness today? I think you would be good at it, give it a shot!

"Rummy might be let go soon. If so, then blammo Bush is done cause it'll put the entire war effort into the realm of 'it was all a mistake to listen to Rummy'.

If Rummy stays, all the calls for him to resign are going to build for awhile, and I'm not sure if Bush is strong enough in the election to absorb it now. "

Well, sure and the sun "might" rise in the west tomorrow, too, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it if I were you.

If this, if that. I have a few "ifs" for you.... IF you think for one minute that President Bush is about to throw out one of his most valuable and trusted cabinet members then you need to stop listening to "the voices". IF you think that anyone who may have been present when President Bush and Secretary Rumsfeld discussed the mistreatment of those Iraqi prisoners would DARE leak any portion of their discussion to the press then you've read waaaay too many Bob Woodward books.

Bush told Jordan's King Abdullah II: "I was sorry for the humiliation suffered by the Iraqi prisoners and the humiliation suffered by their families. I told him I was as equally sorry that people seeing those pictures didn't understand the true nature and heart of America"

[Joe Hadenuf]

I'm not sure I see a personal attack worthy of a ban or suspension, other than calling you a troll once. You don't see any personal attacks? How about this Sandy?

To: Joe Hadenuf

The only thing I said about you yesterday is that you don't like anybody except white people.

What are YOU talking about?

This coming from somebody who lit into me because I happen to work for the government. That's rich.

Huh? Sandy, there is a big difference in having a debate or a dialog, argument, disagreement, as opposed to the vile personal attacks such is shown above. Would you not agree? Or do you condone this behavior?
