OK, I looked.
YOU responded to her #3 which she posted to Glenn.
Why you did, I do not know...
Then she responded to your #18
in her #35.
IOWs, you started it.
LOL!
I know you like to fight.
But don't you ever get tired of losing?

[Not A Snowbird]

I agree with the President on this one. I have not called anyone a name. I have not demanded an apology or pinged a moderator.

I guess I'm not a Bushbot?

[expatguy]

It's all over now folks.

Pathetic.

[Cold Heat]

It getting very very hard to remain a Republican.

You need to quit. Get out! Don't let the door hit you wherever.

Carter and Bush?

Good Grief!

Truly Sorry

Thursday, May 06, 2004

By Neil Cavuto

A lot of people think President Bush should apologize for this whole Iraqi prisoner mess.

Funny, but I don't remember hearing anyone say the deviants who strung up those four American contractors in Fallujah (search) should apologize.

Or for that U.S. military convoy that was blown to bits checking out a supposedly sacred mosque. No one's apologizing to them.

Or to the families of those earliest American prisoners of the war (search), two of whom were butchered and hacked in captivity. No apologies there.

Truly Sorry [continued]

1. Bush apologized/expressed regret because it will help protect our troops.

2. If Kerry wants to now demand a further presidential apology for 9-11, let him. Plays totally into our hands... blaming America rather than the terrorists. Let the stupid RATS go there.

Everyone, chill. In 1972 it was exactly this month, this week that Nixon mined the harbors in North Vietnam. The press screamed escalation, that it would kill the coming US-USSR summit. Nixon went on to win 49 states.

"Trouble is, in the muslim world, that makes GWB (and the US) appear weak(er)."

Compared with how the same Arabs were staggering around in a daze when Afganistan feel, then Iraq collapsed, and Osama may or may not be broadcasting from caves while Saddam is pulled out of a hole in the ground looking like a hermit...on balance, I really don't think the Arab world is going to somehow forget the reality of those other minor little things.

"The war will be lost or won in America"

The war is already lost in America, Bush is revealing himself to be a weak war time leader, now he will be ripped to pieces by the nations enemies. War timje leaders need to lead the fight, not apologize to and back down from the enemy. We are screwed. But on the bright side, since Bush isn't serious about fighting the war on terror and am free to vote consistution party.

If Arabs did this to Americans, I'd be really, realy angry, as I am whenever Americans are mistreated.

2. If Kerry wants to now demand a further presidential apology for 9-11, let him. Plays totally into our hands... blaming America rather than the terrorists. Let the stupid RATS go there.

Damn right.

Done. Yall can have Bush.

Weak war time leader?
Oh General Armchair, you are so brilliant.

But on the bright side, since Bush isn't serious about fighting the war on terror and am free to vote consistution party.

Your CP POTUS will have as much clout
in the processing of this WWIII, as you, General Armchair.

Cast your masturbatory vote.
I don't care, but do not use this
forum to bash President Bush.

[Not A Snowbird]

The press has been trying for a month to get GWB to utter the A-word. He finally did.

No, he didn't. Read the transcript that was posted (#391.)

[CWOJackson]

Damn, there goes another person out the door who never voted for Bush and never would. Just damn. 10,000 more defections like that and we'll be looking at loosing the no-way-in-blazes vote again.

Excuse me ma'am, but what do you call this?

By the way, I'm all for doing this to every Iraqi, man woman and child if they don't straighten up their act.

[foreshadowed at waco]

Appeasement is trying to avoid getting your ass whipped by groveling. Saying you're sorry when your friend has been offended is merely good manners. We may have liberated Iraq from Saddam Hussein but that doesn't give us the liberty to treat any Iraqi people like garbage. I don't like bullies in any uniform. Mocking and degrading another human being who is tied up and helpless is the act of a sick bully. I, too, am sorry for what my fellow Americans did in that prison...they hurt our country and made us look like the bullies we are always accused of being...apologizing because someone was hurt is not the same as apologizing to avoid being hurt.

"The house we hope to build is not for my generation but for yours. It is your future that matters. And I hope that when you are my age, you will be able to say as I have been able to say: We lived in freedom. We lived lives that were a statement, not an apology."......President Ronald Reagan

May 16, 1960 The Paris Summit meeting collapses when Khrushchev demands an apology from President Eisenhower for the U-2 flights.

"Why is it that the very same people who refused to demand an authentic apology from former President Clinton for actual felonies he committed demand a bogus apology from President Bush for something that was not his fault?".... David Limbaugh

And below...the Dems went to this much trouble to give the blame of the deaths of our soldiers to Geo. W. Bush !
