Rush doesn't know what he's talking about. Again.

Rush also said it will be interesting to see what the Dems attack Bush on next

If you apologize for something you didn't do, didn't have a hand in doing, and didn't know was happening you take upon yourself direct responsibility for what happened.

In this case he's saying 'It was my fault' by saying 'I'm sorry' unless he states it just right. He would be far better served by saying that he's ashamed and appalled and that those responsible will pay.

Now that he said 'I'm sorry' (if indeed he used those words) the press can freely blame him directly for what happened. Not a good thing.

Well, I hope everyone is happy now.

Don't bet on it. The Left and the Arabs will take it to the next level. They will start by saying he should have apologized immediately. That he only apologized because he felt he had to. That Rumsfeld should still be fired. That we should withdrawl from Iraq...

blah, blah, blah

The Left will never be satisfied until all those on the Right are dead. Strong words? Maybe. But true.

"but it just proves how much class our CinC has."

I agree. He speaks from the heart, with sincerity.

Was he as sorry as:

Clinton when he got caught porking Monica?

Teddy when he drowned Mary Jo?

Arafat when one of his bombers massacred Jewish children?

The Iraqis when they mutilated 4 contractors?

I'm with you. This was not going to go away until he said something, and frankly I see nothing wrong with what he said. What moral, ethical human would not be sorry that these things happened? It doesn't mean he did anything wrong, just that he feels that a wrong was done.

I think Rush is losing it today.

>>Stick a fork in him. He's done. Say hello to President Kerry.<<

Get a grip!
I'm proud of the President for saying I'm sorry. What happened is horrible,and an embarrassment to our country. It just fuels the anti-American crap.

Rush also said Dole was going to win in 1996. And Bush 41 in 1992.

As a prognosticator of elections, Rush doesn't have a very good track record.

You'll be reminded of this as Bush II's "read my lips moment". You don't get it.

No. YOU don't get it!

Abdullah is a loyal ally in the war on terror, and Bush considers him a friend.

Bush looks BIGGER because of this.

Stop the hand-wringing!

I know I have asked you before, and I know you have told me, but once again, what does "so jumped the shark" mean? :-)

Frankly, it is time that these dittoheads learn to think for themselves! What is the matter with those people, brooking criticism of the Presdident from an admitted druggie!

Honestly, people should have better judgement than that
